This is not my experience at all. I've often observed C programmers that were visibly embarrassed if a single segfault -- let alone an exploit -- was found in their code. I've observed C++ programmers who were completely indifferent to segfaults, shipped 5 more releases with the bug and continued instead discussing their latest abstractions and how awesome and secure C++ is. Also, for yet another time: The majority of CVE-worthy programs is written in C (for good reasons), why don't you look at Windows instead?
