I prefer C++ to C, and often come out to defend C++ when these theads pop up on LWN or Slashdot, but I stand by what I wrote. C has plenty of small flaws, and it is easy to make a C-like language that fixes just one or two of them (for example, Cyclone). If you add too much stuff to the C substrate then you will get something like C++, and the world doesn't need another of those, one is sufficient.
