> As for developer availability - good luck to him finding good C programmers

Are you saying it's difficult in general to find good C devs? Because it would seem that's the case for C++, but not for C.

I'm not sure that's accurate. c++ is a large language. Finding developers who use the parts of c++ that you need to get the task done is easy (boost, qt, stl, wx, etc). Finding developers that know all of c++ is next to impossible. c++ is large because it can solve very large, very complex problems, but not every c++ application attempts to do this. c++ can be used in very simple ways too and many people use it in that fashion.
