No. C++ is primarliy about higher order abstractions. That's why 
it came about.
Without the need for those higher order abstractions, C is just 
fine - no need for C++

The benefits of C, come from C - and only C (and some good 
compiler writers)

(depends on what 'many' means)  - There certinaly are 'numerous' 
(what ever that means) projects trying to create a better c - 
which contradicts your assertion.

A limited language can be a good thing too.
