The problem wasn't that it was a bad implementation in C -- it just wasn't a system programming implementation in C with calls to system services everywhere. To take a very common example, a C system programmer will use system library calls to process a bunch of files by wildcard, whereas a C application programmer would probably use ksh for that part of the solution. A Perl programmer will also use system calls, but transparently :)
