Yes. I enjoy writing C and as long as it does not face the internet and does not handle that much untrusted input I will just use it.

I frankly haven't found an ecosystem in which I feel more comfortable than the one from C.

Yes, C has its vulnerabilities, but for my own projects I do in my own time, I will use any language I have fun with, even if it has huge problems.

This in my opinion, is the one true answer.

Same when people post "I built X with Language Y" and some one comments "Why did you use Y? You should have used Z". What difference does it make? You don't like it don't use it!

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for constructive criticism but sometimes the comments do not come across as criticisms but as attacks.

Again, just my opinion.
