I guess my point is that aside from VERY resource limited systems, almost no one will have C as their first choice. Even with those limited systems I'd bet that most people would rather be working in something else if they could. That said, there are many places where it ends up being the lingua franca.
I still think you're underestimating C's audience. Consider the Linux effort - they can choose any implementation language they want, and they choose C. They aren't forced into C.
