The problem here is that most of the developers are C prodecural 
coders;  I'm one of very few Blender coders who actually likes, much 
less knows anything about, C++.

I agree completely with a lot of people that C++ has too many features 
for its own good (e.g. it's too complex).  Of course, I also happen to 
also think those features are kindof fun to use :)

What blender really needs is on-going refactoring to make the code more 
object-oriented in the places that need it.  Despite what some people 
think, it is possible to do OO with C;  and especially the event system 
could do with a OO rewrite (as we all know).
