That was very much not the case on /r/cpp.

A year to eighteen months ago /r/cpp was all excited about coroutines. 
When I announced this review much spilled forth about C++ coroutines 
being awful. Various people reporting trying them out, blowing off their 
leg, and thus concluded they must never use them again.

They'll get over that I think eventually. Give it another eighteen months.
