Everybody? It's been the language for open source software since the beginning. "Who likes C?" is a different question, but using it is often just plain practical. Almost all mainstream languages are syntactically close to C, so it's easy to read. Documentation for using C interfaces ships with every *nix, making it easy to write. Memory safety and footguns don't matter at all for the vast majority of programs, especially not the short and simple "do-one-thing"-type programs that are most non-commercial code.
