To be honest, I like a lot projects made in C. I have been working with Qt and with Gtk and I must say that it is easy for me to understand Gtk that is in C than Qt that is in C++. Something I feel like if C++ design do unnecessary abstration. The thing is that due to my job, I am more familiar with C++ since the project in which I work at my job is a really big monster that seems to be easier to manage using an a litter high level language as C++ instead C. I would like to learn more C, but sometime I think I should focus in one language and learn as much as possible about it. Sometime ago I had to decide between C and C++. Looking around my city, it was easy to find a good job working for a big mega-application that for a small system application. It doesn't mean I like more working in high-level but C++ seems to have the best of both worlds. I will try to do things in C... Btw, more than strings I miss STL containers and algorithmits, but, if I want to join to contribute I know I must adapt myself to the rules. So, i will try to do thing in C.
