(While we're making gross generalisations...) Every compiler with a
significant user base creates ghettos of non-portable code.

I'm curious what you consider to be "GNU C++" because there are fewer
and fewer non-standard constructs accepted, and the trend is generally
to remove support for them not encourage them.

That can be said about nearly any compiler that's used to write a lot
of code, and I'm sure you know what they say about bad workmen and
their tools.
