I must be caught in limbo. I don't use AVR for work, only for hobby projects, but program 8051 at work and the IDE/compiler I use doesn't support C++. I wish I had it because I like the stronger type checking and the ability to create what I believe to be more clear designs.
BUT, I'm hardly afraid of a pointer and favor C over just about everything else, except maybe Perl, LOL.

It's just that many embedded programmers (me included) are probably
much more familiar with C than C++.
Agreed on all accounts. I was going to point out, though, as an adennum to me rhetoric, that all the 'young bucks' (and doe's as the case may be) these days, all tend to understand the look of C++ inherently over C (just try teaching them pointers - seperates the good from the mediocre these days). It's ironic how you pointed out us older folks inverse propensity towards "C". So I guess one of the most relevant points were you going to make this choice, would be the age of your development team! Ha!
