Have you looked at the quality of error messages in Clang or its 
explicitly designed tooling/IDE integration API?

The way I see it is that LLVM and Clang have certainly enriched 
the playing field, also pushing GCC forward in the process (and 
it is still in the lead in some areas – e.g. OpenMP, where even 
though Intel recently donated their code to LLVM, Clang still 
isn't quite there). You make it sound like GCC already did 
everything before that Clang/LLVM do now, and that's certainly 
not the case. ;)
