I do not agree with all of them. I think assignment expressions is good, and textual inclusion is good (but should not be the only kind of inclusion), and increment/decrement operators is good, and macros is good (although the way C does it is not good enough; there are many things it doesn't do), and pointer arithmetic is good, and goto is good. But I agree with them that the C syntax for octal numbers is bad, and the C syntax for types is bad. Identifiers should not have hyphens if the same sign is also used as an operator. Strings should be byte strings which have no "default" encoding other than ASCII (although UTF-8 and other encodings are still usable too, if they are compatible with ASCII). Another problem with C is that it does not allow null declarations, and does not allow duplicate declarations even if they are the same. There are many other problems with C as well; some kind of low-level stuff is too difficult with C.
