I'm pretty sure that given the overall large increase in the amount of programmers, there are more new C++ projects being created this year than there were new software projects overall when c++98 was standardized. Consider that in the US alone, there were ~600k developers in 2002, and nowadays the estimates are at ~4.5 million.
