For me the worst case of such behavior was when the C++/WinRT team managed to deprecate C++/CX, with the excuse that similar tooling in Visual Studio would be possible without language extensions as soon as C++ would get reflection.
Nowadays I just keep myself to writing .NET, touching C++/WinRT as little as possible.
It needs to be a special kind of developer to love to write by hand, without any tooling support, what C++/CX reflection offered out of the box.
