Yeah, I'm also glad SS will be integrated.

However I wouldn't assume that it's always better than gcc - it's not.
Some time ago we did some tests with our application and gcc actually
produced faster binaries than SS10 (or 9) on SPARC. Yes, we even tried
-fast, still slower. With other app it actually produced faster
application. So at least when it comes to performance I guess it
depends on application which compiler would provide faster binaries.

Nevertheless SS gonna provide complete and mature developer
environment OOB which is great.
