To be honest, as a group, I find C and C++ programmers (even the ones with decades of experience) to be below average in knowledge and skill.



Ouch.

What experiences have given you that opinion?


Occasionally working with people who have spent decades coding almost solely in C or C++ at one of my old jobs. (Not just one person and not just one team.)

I don't remember too many specifics (it was a while ago) other than being brought onboard and having to introduce the tech lead to the "static" keyword.
