Having to duplicate essentially the same code for every subclass (for a 
Copy() function) just so I can make a copy of an object from a 
base-class pointer. Having to return void pointers and cast them to the 
correct types. Mostly having what I can do with an object being 
determined by the type of pointer to it I have, instead of what the 
object can do. Templates.

I haven't done anything in Java though, I don't really know what 
limitations it has. It might be worse.
