Sure... but C++ is more usable, tends to result in faster (in
execution) programs, yields more maintainable, easier to read code,
and makes it much easier to write more robust programs, more quickly,
than C...

The downside is that it is more complex ("more rope") and so requires
somewhat more learning (tho not nearly as much as many seem to think
-- much of the complexity in C++ doesn't really manifest unless you're
doing advanced things).

Not a bad set of tradeoffs to be honest....
