I'd just like to add my 2 $.025.
C++ is a very tool rich language and is wonderful for application level
and some systems level jobs. C is excellent for many lower level
programming jobs. I would certainly use C++ for graphical programming
and any other type of programming where one should deal with objects. 

It all comes under the heading of "use the right tool for the job". When
comparing C to C+ I think of C as assembler language and C++ as the high
level language, and there are some tasks where assembler language is
appropriate.
