Or, you use C because the software was written before C++ was really usable on Palm 
and you are still
adding to it.

I also know of many times where C++ caused people to do things because they were neat 
C++ features but
not really required or necessary for the architecture resulting in some pretty 
horrendous architectures.

Boy, tell me about it! I can't believe these discussions still come up--or
that anyone is still using C in this day and age. Even if you don't use OOP,
exceptions, or generic programming, C++ is still an easier and safer
language than C.

I can think of only one good reason to program in C vs. C++ these days:
because you don't know C++. The number of people who really know C++ but
choose C instead are small (and weird:).
