Good programmers still do. ;-) Though they are fewer now, at least
percentage-wise, taken the whole 'C' developer population as a base
count,
Good programmers still know what a long, int, etc. look like deep
inside there for each platform they work on / port to.

If they don't want to bother, they do not use 'C', but Java or other
'virtual machine' languages, e.g. C#.

Granted, it's like working with explosives. Nice, very interesting,
maybe even 'cool', but you should NOT drink and drive/work at the same
time. Life is involuntary cut short that way rather rapidly.
