IMO, yes, it is. Especially the words "modern" and "legacy" give the message a 
strong subjective slant.

(And that's not even considering the fact that statements about programming 
languages are flamebait in any case, and highly subjective by nature too. C 
isn't by definition "legacy" and I wouldn't call C++ "modern". If it wasn't 
because of all the cool things that Qt offers on top of the language our 
choice of C++ would be better-than-C at best, but plain C++ is becoming 
outdated rapidly too.)

So, if you want to go the language route, do something like "KDE is using 
object oriented and component-based programming techniques for all its code. 
KDE's foundation library Qt provides functionality that that enhances the C++ 
language with features like introspection and makes it one of the most 
powerful development platforms available today."
