This is a well done comparison of C++/Java/C#/Objective-C in a tabular mode:

There are two big features/advantages that Java/C# have over C++:

  1. Built-in garbage collection/managed memory. You don't have to worry about cleaning up your objects. Garbage collection is coming/available for C++ as well, but it's considerably less convenient to use. Java/C# make it like the air you breath. It hard to understate how much this can help your productivity and how much enjoyment this can add to your coding.
  2. The Well-organized built-in API/library. C++ probably has a much larger library available to it, if for no other reason than it's been around much longer and you can run it on my platforms, Java and C# are set apart by the amount of time, depth, and organization that went into the library that actually ships with the language.

On the other hand, Java/C# depend on an external runtime. The lack of this dependency means that C/C++ are everywhere. You can use C++ to program for almost any random esoteric platform out there, no matter what the constraints.

I think that this is a pretty good comparison.
