Slightly better ergonomics I suppose. Member functions versus function pointers come to mind, as do references vs pointers (so you get to use . instead of ->)

Yeah, slightly better ergonomics. Although we could, we simply did not use function pointers, we used member functions from the data class the data sat inside. We really tried to not focus on the language and tools, but to focus on the application's needs in the context of the problem it solves. Basically, treat the tech as a means to an end, not as a goal in itself.
