I like to think that I'm rather neutral, since I'm neither pro-C or against-C.
But from a rather philosophical point of view, C is basically Portability 1.0, it was one of the first truly portable "fast" languages. I'd like to think that we could do better than C with 40 years or CS research and industry experience.
Of course, there's the whole second-system syndrome so it's a wicked problem :)
