title: When is it good to use c++ iostreams over ReadFile, WriteFile, fprintf, etc ...?
body: <p>I find that it is tremendously easier to use streams in c++ instead of windows functions like ReadFile, WriteFile, etc or even fprintf. When is it not good to use streams? When is it good to use streams? Is it safe to use streams? How come a lot of programmers don't use streams?</p>
  
  <p>This is just something I've always wondered about and maybe you can shed some wisdom.</p>
