I'll take it over 0, because it will force people to think with what arrays are populated. And if 1 index or 0index is appropriate instead of defaulting all arrays and loops at 0.

And then there are things like strcmp() that uses 0 as true. At least it is for a good reason, but still confusing.

I don't find it confusing at all. The function doesn't test equivalence, and the return value is not meant to be a logical value.
