Well, recent versions of CC mode have the variable
c-syntactic-indentation that you can set to nil from a mode hook:

(defun paul-c-setup ()
  (setq c-syntactic-indentation nil))
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'paul-c-setup)

I won't be all that different from text mode, but you can get syntax
highlighting.  Maybe you will like that.
