I have developed and enjoyed developing in both. C has an elegant simplicity about it and you can do literally anything. C++ can be quicker, and it has a bunch of useful standard stuff, but it does have some downsides and quirks. There's room in the world for both.

I never enjoyed C as such, always felt too little when compared with Turbo Pascal, only used it in anger for university projects and my first job.

For anything else where the option was between C and C++, I always picked C++ when given liberty of choice.
