about 80% then.)

less than you about that. BTW, I've got the impression that all the

handle these facts in discussions differently than you.)

The shortcomings are downplayed considerably. Especially in discussions involving me because they don't like it whenever someone states the obvious.
But also, most here have to use it professionally, so have learned to work around it. I on the hand have more of a choice, and have /extensive/ experience of doing similar low level coding in an alternative, more agreeable syntax.
It must be frustrating to not have that choice. However when someone claims that some appalling syntax or bizarre quirk of C is really an advantage, then I can be vocal about that.
And when somebody just completely dismisses alternate syntax or features that I use ("it's just a toy") then you can tell it is sour grapes.
