That's so strange to read in 2003 that people still don't like C++ and prefer C.
Several years ago, I used to program in C only, and had silly misconceptions about C++. I thought it was a super high level hidding everything to the programmer and I used to hate it.
Well, now I do know how to code in C++, and I just have to say that I love this language. The "C++" is a real good name : C language, but with cool extensions which let you design stuff more easilly. And I can't put up with C anymore :-D
It's so great to maintain a clean object oriented program coded in C++. BeOS and some other OS projects show a very good C++ programing interface. Reading code made for those OS is a real pleasure.
I think the "anti C++" statement just come from people who don't really know C++ (just as me when I used to know C only). Moreover most people around me who used to code in C only and who learnt C++, just can't come back to C anymore.
