Don't believe me? See how long it takes you to figure out how to move the mouse in Linux or even get a pixel color on the screen. Not very easy, XLib documentation is very patchy in a lot of ways.
As for the speed thing, if not speed, what else is there? For the average programmer C++ can do everything that C can and more. There are some changes but most will never notice them. OOP rules.
