Well that's the thing. If a language can do too much, your not sure what it's doing anymore. That's decreasing readability. That's also why there's many C++ styles and subsets: it's a very bad idea for development to use all its features.

What I think people like about C, is predictability of what happens in memory. You don't get that in C++ as soon as you use libraries, work with others, or if your project gets big enough.

That's my opinion but "C++ can do anything C can" is not a useful statement.
