On the top of my head, for large open source C codebases that are not system/kernel/controller I guess Python, Ruby and Redis would be good examples.

I do myself fall in the category of people sticking to C over C++. I used to love C++ back until c++03, then completely hated the whole "new generation c++" orientation that started with c++11 and pretty much decided to not touch c++ anymore.

I think that "large" really needs to be defined here. CPython is 350kloc of C. I have seen C++ codebases with more source files than there are lines of code in that. Just the "base" module of Qt is ~4million loc
