Objectified C++ still has some significant bloat/performance issues IMO, in
some cases the penalty over a standard C equivalent can be dramatic. 
There's places where I'd not chose it, others where I would, and others
where I'd use neither C++ or C.

I blame C/C++ for a lot of the flakiness in modern code.  For most people
writing in them it like handing a scalpel to a 3 year old to play
with...the results can be messy ;->
