I don't agree with this. Right know with AS2 you can choose your compiler : MTASC or MMC.
With NextGen languages, you can port your code to AS3 and go back closed source or port your code to "MTASC2" (which will *not* be the name of the tool) which will guarantee you an open source compiler. You'll have to make a choice, but you still have choice :) As I told already, having to choose between the compiler only is not very interesting apart from saving the license price if the compiler does not provide something really better such as MTASC is doing for AS2.
