My opinion is that since C predates C++, a lot of things learned in C are not the best way to do things in C++.
So the drawback to learning C before C++, is you may do a lot of things with C style code that makes more sense to do C++ style instead. C style char are all over a lot of people's C++ programs because they know those first before they learned C++ strings. And since I discovered STL Vectors, Lists, etc. I have said goodbye to C++ arrays. STL and some nice data types it incorporates and niceties like BOOST really make me like C++.
