when you interpret GCC as DJGPP, then DJGPP is a pretty nice compiler for larger DOS programs: It helps making C library calls more similar to Linux ones and it lets you use several gigabyte of RAM. Of course DJGPP is not nice if you are writing small drivers or want to save disk space or if your project needs to be compatible to pre 386. I would say "it depends" instead of "it's not".
