Personally, I used the C++ API rather than libclang because I wanted to 
develop in C++ and not in C.
I think C is an inferior language compared to C++,   and I did not want to 
write my C++ wrapper around the C API while there is already a very good C++ 
API.

Also the C++ API is stable enough, I have started working with clang 3.1, and 
now using clang from trunk, there was only a couple of incompatible change.
