Mentioning the job security factor of C in a C++ discussion is ... quite bold.
On average, C++ has the highest (talk + best practices + monstrous refactoring) / (actual code) ratio of any language I know.
The C++ projects I worked on moved at a glacial pace, with constant discussions about the best object hierarchy, patches because some compiler had a different interpretation of the 100+ nested templates than some other compiler, and so on.

Oh, and the code also segfaulted and was buggy.
