I switched to C because I could not stand the pain of using C++ anymore. I find C refreshingly simple.
(Also, as a comment to other responses: C++ is not a superset of C, it is a fork from 95 with divergent language evolution since then).
It is not a fork from 95. Cfront, the original C++ compiler was a new front-end for the C compiler from 1983 that output C which was then compiled regularly.

Maybe, but it is 1995 when it diverged: https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/c Before it was an extension since then it is a fork.
I don't think we are using the word 'fork' in the same sense.
