I'm still on C++98 and C++03. Everything beyond that is just bloat to me. ;-)

I would say that C++ 11 did improve things particularly wrt the STL and
possibly 2014 was the high point. Beyond that its been as you say pointless
bloat that achieves nothing.

I would say that C++17 was also an incremental improvement.
But C++20 jumped the shark, when the standardization process was hijacked by  Microsoft in order to cram coroutines into the language, which noone wanted,  cared, or asked for, simply because the standard threading model in Windows  blows chunks, performance wise, and Microsoft desperately needed a  multithreading model that did not suck.
And things went downhill from that point on…
