Well, I have to disagree based on my own tests last year (when
considering XCode rather than CW 9). The gcc STL poorly tracks the ISO
C++ standard's defect resolutions, it also comes with an unusable
std::exception class (throw specs), performance was lower on every test
I did (even when using CW 8.3 with the gcc C++ library containers).
This also matches observations comparing Intel's compiler on Linux
versus Windows when comparing C++ standard library performance.

Apart from that, MW has a fair TR1 implementation and I was hoping for
a fully functional implementation with CW 10; and of course I was
hoping for CW eventually providing early support for some of the useful
C++ 0x language extensions.
