Very good posts above.
Personally, I fit into the category of using C++ in it's own right. I initially treated the language as an extention, but found it much easier to treat it as it's own. When I need C, I use C. When I need C++, I use C++. I seldom ever mix and match the two.
Although, I tend to like C more than C++. Not because of it's abilities, complexity, or anything that would technically matter, but I love the nostalgia behind the language. C++ just seems to large and complex for me at times, but C always fits just right. That, and most people who begin their journey as a programmer in this day and age almost immediately disregard C and shoot straight to C++, considering it an obsolete or even an inferior language. In some ways it is, and in some ways it can blow C++ out of the water; it all depends on how you use it and how well you do so.
My two cents.
