You do realize there are a lot of projects written in C, right? Including Linux and most of its programs / utilities that you may be using.
I have new projects written in C, too, and you can do a lot to check for potential bugs using various flags to GCC / Clang, among other things like cppcheck and the rest.
No, people should not give up on C. C is really good to know, for many reasons... even if you are not going to use it.
I believe GP meant that the idea of C/C++ should be abandoned, that is, that C and C++ are compatible languages. GP thinks that they should diverge more when necessary, none of them should be held back for the compatibility with the other.
