  <p>Is it really a bad idea to use 'new' in instantiating a class in C++?  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3774408/how-to-add-a-new-class-to-a-vector/3774455#3774455">Found here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I get that using raw pointers is ill-advised, but why have a 'new' keyword at all when it's such bad practice?  Or is it?</p>
