I like C quite a bit, but if I said, "I like C more than C++ or JavaScript or Haskell", I'd be locked away forever. In a padded room. With nothing but a BASIC interpreter. i.e. nobody, but nobody says their favorite language is C anymore, they've all found languages that have trade-offs, and most people don't need the trade-offs C can provide. Parsing XML? Un-fun. Regular expressions? Un-fun. GUIs? Un-fun. Hierarchical subclasses of actors? Un-fun.
