I really have a theory here, I think (like me! I came here in the hope 
of 'fixing' GCC from what I thought it was to what it is because I, 
suppose I am loyal, I don't really like BSD, the lack of obligation to 
keep things free, anyway that'll start a dispute probably so don't 
worry) it's all the bad press, my impression was GCC is really old and 
archaic, not very good for developing new optimisations, had a crap IR 
and there was this newcomer that only made these problems known because 
it fixes them.

I know now that most of them were wrong BTW!
