Different languages, different habits. I even consider putting every
class in its own header and implementation file as a bad habit. There is
no reason to do anymore because modern C/C++ compiler can smartlink on a
sub-object level which they could not for years.

Then they are not eduacated well enough because they don't know the
reason why C++ programmers put (past tense) every class into it's own
object file.
