Most of The problems you encountered with templates have been cleaned up in
version 2.4.  My friends and I had been consistantly battling with template
problems in version 2.3.*.

The multiple inheritance problems have also been worked on and I believe are
okay now in version 2.4.  Personally, I would like to see g++ to become a 
standard, just as gcc has become a good standard for C.
