I completely disagree. C++ was not created to extend or enhance C; its an entirely new language providing backwards compatability only for legacy reasons. Using C in C++ introduces deficiencies and dangers that C++ was designed to overcome. As a C++ developer I come across a lot of code where people still use things like FILE* and close the handle in a goto. That should be frowned upon, there is no advantage for this method vs. using a stream; which handles the file handle while being scope bounded. Promoting the use of C in C++ is something terrible misguided and plain wrong.
