I don't code a line of C++ if I don't have to.

Apple uses C++ in their kernel in a nice way, they don't use virtual methods and templates.

I agree totally that C++ looks good and all, and that there might be bright sides to it. But to me, it is not as discernible as C at least. And I do enjoy programming in C, I need to feel I am in control, and C gives me that.
