What do you more experienced programmers think about Google's C++ style guide?

I've also read people talking about only using "safe" subsets of C++, so that could that could be discusses in this topic as well since it's related to Google's style guide. More particularly, what parts of the C++ language do you consider "safe", and which parts do you consider to be more error prone than the added functionality they give is worth.

I personally haven't used C++ enough to give any insightful comment on any of this, but I do know from the little programs I've had to write that exceptions are very hard to work with and always leave me wondering if a piece of code I haven't written myself will throw exceptions or not.
