I had hated C for a long time before I had even heard of Perl. C was clunky and horrible and looked like line noise (which is a funny accusation given some of the code I've turned out in Perl). The ANSI C compilers couldn't do more than my dear Turbo Pascal could, and looked worse while doing it. Of course, it won anyway.

As for windows, I quite like Win2k, and if they'd just open the source up we could get to work and really make it fly... Thesedays KDE and GNOME are quite nice, especially when you tweak them to work with Enlightenment.
