I think people today often do not understand any more that C like many other things in the UNIX world is a tool, not a complete framework. But somehow people expect a complete convenient framework with batteries included. They see it has a deficiency that C by itself does not provide many things. I see it as one of its major strengths and this is one of the reasons why I prefer it.

Sane building system is pretty much basic thing in modern language

You'd expect something as mature as C to have such a thing by default

Thanks for confirming my point ;-)
