To be good in C++ you have to be good in C first (at least in theory) and
programmers that feel more "modern" tend to use OO techniques for the new
stuff. 

I have to admit I don't find much of an advantage in C++, but it doesn't make
much sense to rewrite existing code or change your programming style to
maintain everything in C.

Just my $0.02,
