It approximately does. The only common way that newbies would get tripped up is something like (3 * 1/3) != 3. Maybe that is a case for not allowing == operator to operate on floats (use a function/keyword instead), but I think that may be a step too far.
On the other hand, that is a property of floating point numbers, regardless of what language one uses.
That's true, but, OTOH, having floating point rather than an exact representation be the default representation for values represented as decimal literals, and the only non-integer type supported by convenient operators is a language-specific "feature" of C that many other languages don't share. (Though, to be fair, there are also many newer and popular languages that do share both, and more just the first, of those features.)
EDIT: Also I like my numbers reflexive.
