Right. There's nothing there that particularly floats my boat (or even 
doubles my boat).

Vive la difference!

In my case, I don't think it would make any difference. I use C++ for 
writing GUI programs. Can we write GUI programs in C? Sure, but it's 
much harder work. (Actually, we can't write GUIs in either C or C++, but 
you know what I mean - language+framework rather than language alone.) 
For X, I might conceivably use C, but for Win32 it's no contest - C++ 
definitely has the best framework (for my purposes, at least).
