I agree fully, and this is what I do personally. (Though we have to use a C wrapper API for cross-platform compatibility and name mangling reasons) But honestly, people seem to get all hung up on C++ having weird features. No-one is being forced to use a feature just because it exists. I use the sub-set of C++ that I'm familiar with and grow it when it looks like it'll save a lot of effort relative to cost of learning it.
