I think it depends on your target audience, or if you are the only 
target, what your compiler supports.

With programs for a desktop system, with an up to date compiler, I tend 
to use the newest standard supported by that compiler.

With code that will run on more ”exotic” hardware — retro systems (6510, 
z80, x86 DOS) or embedded systems — I use whatever newest standard the 
target compiler(s) support.
