Use the right tool for the job. C is the right tool for some jobs; if you jam it into a place where it doesn't belong, you probably don't have a deep enough understanding of it to use it safely. There are two groups you find misusing something. Those that really know what they are doing, have weighed the risks/rewards, and have decided that misusing the tool to get the job done is worth the associated risk. Then you have people who don't know what they are doing. They are going to have problems, but don't blame the tool.
