Because most of them are either the type 1 (too dumb to know the difference)
or type 2 (irresponsible) programmers I described.  Just like 99% of
software out there is crap, so are 90% of the programmers.

That doesn't mean anything, see above.  It's been shown many times that
popularity is no indicator of quality or technical superiority.  How many
pet rocks were sold back in the 1970s?  Need I say more?

Are you seriously trying to defend C on technical merits!!?  There may be
some reasons you have to use C today on a project, but technical superiority
of the language is certainly not one of them.
