People have been writing code for PC's in C now for a couple of decades, and it doesn't look like someone's going to suddenly sweep it all away with some new fad. If you understand C, you'll understand most of the OS coding projects that are around today.
Would you say the same about COBOL? COBOL still runs the world. There are still major projects being developed in COBOL. People have been coding in COBOL for 45 years. It's probably just a niche because Jonathan doesn't use it anymore. :-)
