How to get out of #include "stuff.h" hell?

To each his own. Although fun is probably the last word I'd ever associate with C++. I'd say it's a necessary evil in some situations.

FFFFUUUUUU-n then?

#pragma once is non-standard and has subtly different behavior than include guards. That's exactly the kind of stuff that's bound to blow up in your face when you expect it the least.

This particular feature has been standardized as of C++x11 (or C++x12... One of the more recent ones...). VS C++ and Clang (and I'm quite sure GCC) that support that, behave the same. But I cannot vouch for other compilers.

Yes, that's more like it. :D

It's widely supported, but not part of any standard. C++ is getting a module system now (and has always eschewed the preprocessor), so I doubt anything will change in this area.
