Except the world of C and C++ is not just clang, gcc and visual studio, 
there are lots of compilers out there besides those.

Secondly, on the enterprise world of Fortune 500 consulting, where I 
work, most of the time one is required to use whatever toolchain the 
customer's IT allows for.

Working with latest standards is a startup thing, or small team projects.

There are lots of realities out there.
