This argument is not much valid anymore. Most language or library features are implemented for testing before a proposal is voted in (because of previous fisaco) C++14 draft is fully supported in Clang at this time, and is even modified real time from votes happening this week. I mean, except if you work with Visual Studio, compiler adoption is not really that long now. The only real barrier is company policy. Now I don't want to work on a company that impose artificial limitations on improvements (other than time obviously).
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. -- Paulo
