I don't know about that. I agree about it being a popular idea with people that don't understand C. Plenty do and still harbor those opinions. I've been mortified by what I've seen in C, and it seems really preventable. Lots of developers out there are widely negligent. C provides them with enough rope to hang themselves. To be honest, I'm a little surprised to find veteran C developers that AREN'T scared. I guess they just see every disaster as the fault of "negligence and recklessness". If you're not scared of your code (mistake), you should certainly be scared of other peoples.
