They both does fit there. Even PHP does regarding some tips.

They are not that disjoint.

A non negligeable amount of C tips are useful in C# & Java as well -- all the
tips related to brackets (#855 and duplicates) and keywords (#842), comments,
ctags, folding, ...
Some C++ tips are tunable for Java & C# (automatic accessors generation,
doxygenation, refactorisation, context-analysis, ...) ; and the other way
around.
Most C# tips should be usable in Java ; and the other way around.

On the long run, mine -- I expect the C++ category to be needed.
But, anyway let's first take inventory of the tips, merge the duplicate ones,
and we'll see -- my impression may be biaised by the fact there are a lot of
duplicate tips

BTW, on the short run, I'd rather have C++ redirected to C than deleted.
