I always felt like there unfortunately was no proper alternative to libopenssl (might be unfair but it seemed like a somewhat smelly library) but thanks to this event I've now been made aware of all the alternatives. How much more fun/comfortable is NSS/GnuTLS to use in a typical C project in comparison to OpenSSL? Great potential to learn for developers and users alike this heartbleed.

There are quite a few alternatives (you may also want to look at matrixssl, polarssl/tropicssl and cryptlib), but if you use one of them, people will report interop problems as bugs in your code. Been there, done that. Sad to say, but I now use openssl.
