some of these are legitimate complaints. but i'm having trouble working up any outrage, because i like the stdio interface. personally, i paper over the defects by not using stdio directly. i write wrappers around it, then write tests, neither of which has to be revisited very often. i guess the most pressing issue is shaky support for anything but ascii. that's dealt with in the short term via utf8, and in the long term by expanding the size of 'char' to 32 bits, i hope.
