How the fuck is C++ more traditional than C?

To me it looks like to position within each of quadrant want taken into account.

It really seems like the creator didn't bother with spacing at all. Something that did consider spacing within quadrants wouldn't have its items this closely packed together.

I think it's not meant to be more traditional, the icon positions seem random and only the square they're located is important.
