No. The C vs C++ question is simple language vs comprehensive language. A simple language might be preferred for various reasons. For example, code is easier to review, which is Linus Torvalds argument. Bindings to other languages are easier to create. Compiler is simpler, which might be important for embedded and high-reliability jobs.
