What would you say were the main advantages of using gcc in preference to
a compiler supplied by a computer manufacturer ?

What are the features of gcc that make it a 'world class compiler' , that
make it so much better than other compilers ?

I always use gcc, but how do I convince somebody else that they should do
the same ?

thanks in advance.

Damian.
