People have strong feelings about C because C is far from being perfect by modern standards and yet it continues to be the single most important programming language of our time. There is nothing wrong or surprising with people being frustrated about this fact. I only wish that there was less irrational hate on this forum in this regard.

Well, the haters could always reimplement the whole infrastructure in their language of choice, wouldn't they?
It's been done at least once before for ideological reasons (and in C none-the-less) by the FSF. It should be even easier to give it a go in modern languages. I bet you can even get funding if you can write a compelling case that the wheel is actually broken!!!
