I think there are way more types, or subtypes. The first category can be broken down into "people who like C because it's simple" and "people who use C because they need to do manual memory management" (and that can be broken down into "has not tried Rust" and "has tried Rust and didn't like it"). The second category can be broken down into "people who wrote a program in the 1980s in C and are now stuck with it" and "people who learned C in the 1980s and haven't tried to learn a new language" and "people who learned C in the 1980s-1990s and think that Python and Ruby would be too slow for their purposes (no longer true)".
