I guess that depends on how you define "large" and "operating system" (one might claim Linux is written in C, but KDE sure accounts for a lot of the code ;-), but certainly there are a number of operating systems primarily written in C++, and they have been high quality implementations with comparable capabilities to their C breathren.
Linux is written in C, and there's been several discussions over the years as to why (especially when C++ groupies have wanted to write [it|parts of it] in C++). KDE is not Linux, it's a suite of applications that run under X on Linux.
