In order to avoid a fiery discussion, I said: 
  "In my opinion, most of the other C compilers either serve
  a very specific purpose, or are toy compilers (Tiny C,
  etc.)."
  
I agree with you about C/80, it not a toy compiler. It is 
what I consider to be very specific purpose -Low cost C 
compiler.- The same argument also applies to Small C (which
also comes with the source of the compiler. If you are trying
to upgrade from an assembler for a minimal cost, I agree with
you 100%. 

In my opinion, at least professional programmers, require a
little more than C/80.
