Don't mix the two together. C is great for systems and some application programming, C++ is rubbish.
There was one brief stretch in history around 1994-1998 where C++ was the best choice for application level programming. And even then only a very narrow type of app programming.
Before that brief timeframe and since then it has been a poor choice for every single type of programming. There are better choices in all cases. It has no niche anymore where it is the best fit, not anywhere.
