    A problem with C++ is that it is possible to write some very very bad code in C++. I have worked with some companies that are now requiring the use of "C" instead of "C++" to avoid the production of bad unusable code.

    While good C++ code is better than good C code, bad C++ code is much worse than bad C code.
