The difference between Fortran 77 and Fortran 95 is much bigger than C89 
vs. C99. And yes, I too prefer C to Fortran 77 :-)

There are things in Fortran 95 that are still really bad. E.g. I/O is 
modelled on reading magnetic tapes rather than memory mapping arrays. 
For practical use, one can skip ~50% of Fortran textbooks just by 
ignoring I/O chapters. "Eveyone" prefer to do I/O in C or Python instead.
