Most programming languages are really good. People who talk ill of them just don't know them well, and also probably never lived while there were no high-level languages. And honestly, people are creatures of trends; we don't use the most popular languages because they're flawless. The only major problem with C is its community never took off with a popular library packager and linter. Every other language that seems so cool today would be just as painful as C if they didn't have so many contributed modules and tweaks. Port those to C and people would fall in love with it all over again.
