My sense is that what folks consider to be issues and problems with
UnitTest++ have to do with their own particular goals and desires that
are not necessarily widely required.

As a contrast to "broken windows," the several companies at which I've
downloaded and used UT++, I've been able to use UnitTest++ nearly
stock.  I've added support for local platforms (changes for which
cannot be folded back into the open distribution due to NDA) and I've
added a mechanism to disable particular tests at compile time, and
frankly the modifications were so minimal that it seemed unnecessary
to even consider demanding their inclusion in the source distribution.

IMHO.
