Question:
C has very few fancy language constructs, yet you can do anything with it. Are new language features really worth anything?

Sure, for example, having member functions that have an implicit "this" pointer takes a great deal of pain-in-the-ass away (I'll admit this is at the expense of scope clarity -- hence, it makes sense to prefix member variables with m_ or similar so you never have to worry about "is this local or is this a member?" -- but this is not hugely different from local vs global data anyway). Also templates can be very handy, too, otherwise in C you use other kludges like big nasty #define based macros, or #define + #include, etc. Having said that, I do end up doing those as well, at times.
