Several comments on that.

1) Complexity is bad, even for professional programmers.  Simplicity is 
good, even for professional programmers.

2) If you think most C programmers are professionals, you havn't seen as 
many C programmers as I have.  During the dot-com boom, it seemed that 
anybody who could spell C and had a pulse could call themselves a 
programmer.
