Not when writing portable code.
Nowadays I just do JVM/.NET stuff, but I still remember the
headaches of writing portable C and C++ code across commercial
UNIX systems during 1999 - 2001.
Don't know about C much but writing portable C++ is not a
pleasant task, especially now, when you really want to use C++11
features. Saying that nobody cares about portable code is of
course completely ignorant. I would even say that today it is
more relevant that single-platfrm code.
