C is a great language in the sense that a F1 racing car is a great car. C's minimalism and portability gives great power but with it comes great responsibility to use it properly. Just like you wouldn't give grandma the keys to the F1 to go to the shopping mall. C is a great language to write an operating system and its utilities in. But that doesn't make it suitable to write an ERP system.
