Formatting output I find is much easier using printf than cout.

But I can use in C++ printf, can't I?
But still what can be done easier in C than in C++, it's up-to-you, somepeople,they're more familiar with C, then their job of course will be easier and faster, than working with C++, same thing to C++.

Hmph, that's it? I guess C doesn't have any "real" advantages against C++. But how could it when there's that darn standard template library.
Vber, I haven't seen you in long time, by the way.

What if you want to deal with POSIX?
Or when you look closely to a specific compiler like gcc, nested functions granted by only gcc not g++.
And why do so many people use gcc and g++? What's so good about those compilers?

Far away from this, you look in the Linux board FAQ, a little bit about POSIX.
/* And why do so many people use gcc and g++? */
They are free, and they're pretty good compilers as a free option.
C code tends to run faster and compile smaller.

I just found that Borland C++ 5.5 is now free. It does not come with an IDE, but who cares about that? Download at http://www.borland.com/products/down..._cbuilder.htmlOriginally posted by Vber

Aren't all compilers free on Kazaa? Ok, this thread is closed.
Nope, sometimes you have to use eMule, iMesh, or IRCOriginally posted by volk

Anyways, there are very good reasons to use C over C++, just like there are very good reasons to use Assembly when dealing with mathematical calculations over any other language - It all depends on what you want to do, how you want it to work, and how you want to accomplish it.
