C makes a good portable assembler, and that's what I use it for. That
makes it nearly OS development and systems level applications work. In
other domains, this can be a serious problem.
The only real problem with C is the type decleration syntax. C is the
only language I've ever run into that someone - and someone bright, at
that - felt the need to write a tool for explaining what a variable
declaration meant, or one to translate from english to the language in
question.
