I prefer C because it's more demanding. You need to put a lot of clarty and structuration into a C program to make it work efficiently. You must be able to tell for each variable where it applies, what's its purpose and what's its scope. You must have a complete understanding of the whole program in all cases. The C++ withdraws this responsibility from the programmer... and for this reason I prefer C.

I read that as 'C++ is for n00bs' :p

When i started with C++ i had NO idea what the fark i was doing, and got lost straight away, (I tried learning C++ as a 'first' language) but i found that C was much easier to code, all those structs and stuff, and it helpped me along alot. So kids, if you wanna be good at C++, learn C first :p
