Well and much better would be using Objective-C...
Yes, simplicity attracts people.
As far as people use only simple things, they are happy, and there have
no reason of learning a complex language.
But when they write complex things, they realize that a complex
language in fact helps a lot, and simplifies their program.
The complex language must not be C++. And one can have a lot of the
"nice stuff" in other language far better packaged.
And, if you read the C99 standard, you'll see that C is not so simple
that it seems to be (even if it is simplier than C++).
That's too true unfortuntatly.
