I think the thing that put me off learning C is the 1001 different compile options for gcc. If you're going to be working on more portable open source projects then there's a whole subset of stuff you problem need to know like the autoconf tools and the like.

The code will run faster but I'm happy just to rip off a bit of perl and be done with it. no compilation, no makes files.
