Well that's probably jumping to a conclusion without sufficient data,
after all there are scads of people choosing to use gcc over the Intel
compilers (and I am talking about commercial situations, where cost
etc is not the issue).

Presumably Apple will take a close look at this, and indeed may provide
some useful input on the issue.
