You do a disservice by dismissing anyone who may know about Sun Studio as either lacking skill or being lazy. There are plenty of developers who have written software on other platforms (OS X, Linux, etc.) who have written perfectly good software with gcc-isms, and have users (like us) appealing to them to port it over to Solaris. Having not-up-to-date matching compilers only makes Solaris look bad, and gives the developers an excuse for not porting their software.

#define developers please

i think ppl are using gcc on *solaris because:
a) they dont know that suncc exist
b) they havent got enough skill to fix gccism
b2) there are too many gccism and they are lazy

Hello,

Since developers are getting more involved in using the GCC compiler and 
especially the GCC 4.4.x compilers, I started wondering why not migrate
to GCC 4.4.x sooner than later?? We have more community developers
building, testing, and reporting on GCC 4.4.x than before.

What is the price of admission for users/developers to enter the gates of GCC 
4.4.x ??
