In academia, I see coding almost exclusively done in a Lin/Unix environment with C. In companies, I often see a mix of C and C++ developed in Windows.

What's more common these days with regard to language and platform? I guess I'm talking about languages with memory control.
I like C++ in Visual Studio myself. Editting code in a barebones text editor is not my cup of tea. The reasons people give for C I hear are typically related to implementation:
-"Our code was developed in Windows and after some updates, we had to go through and edit little things like library names to keep up. So, we switched to Linux and GCC."
-"The C++ compiler does not optimize our code as well as the old C compilers did."

So, what does your organization prefer and why?
