That's fair. We're just speaking from two different perspectives: You (and the committee) want the best possible language, and you're willing to wait 5 years to get it. I want to see C++ evolve quickly so I can get some productivity and performance wins, in which case I'd probably start using the language for more projects. I gather there was enough mileage on Gor's proposal that it wasn't some vector<bool> kind of screwup, so I would have liked to have seen them call it good and ship it.
So average Joe Users like me have to wait and wait while it's made better and better. If you'd put this decision to a vote of 10,000 MSVC users instead of a bunch of compiler vendors and Google engineers, I bet coroutines would've been merged, warts and all. Instead, the years pass, attention drifts, modern languages beckon, and C++ becomes even more niche.
