I don't think it is awful.

But it does have drawbacks. The main one, IMO, is that the tasks
it is good at are not the tasks it is mostly used for.

C++ is a very good system programming language. For wiritng
operating systems, device drivers, windowing systems, programing
language compliers and interpreters, it's a natural choice.

But for writing GUI applications, it typically isn't, unless
speed is imperative.

Write your apps in python. Then convert them to C++ if it doesn't
run fast enough.
