There's lots wrong with it, and it isn't particularly powerful. On the 
other hand, it's straightforward and doesn't take a whole lot of runtime 
support, and it's simple enough that pretty much everyone does it the 
same way. (Unlike all the flavors of LISP, for example.)

(As for what's wrong with it, I simply cite autoconf and buffer overruns.)

No it wouldn't.
