I'll.never claim there aren't a ton of terrible coders out there. They exist in all languages, but perhapd C gives them the tools to be really, extra awful..

It also doesn't give you very good tools for refactoring to clean up the awfulness. Unit testing tools and the type system in C are such that it's fairly difficult to ensure that your refactor hasn't broken anything.
