C's Standard Library doesn't suck, and, in all my decades of programming, I did not hear that statement at all. The standard library just doesn't give you much. Things have gotten better with C99 and C11, but there are many things that every day programming depends on but are not covered by the C standard library. Simplest example: Traversing the filesystem. You can easily come up with other examples.
