You overlook that it's a very old compiler - 30 years. In its
day it had maybe 100,000 users.
People do still use it today, to compile dmd for Win32 for
example, and nobody has yet
EVER
commented on that feature, unless I prompted them, when
I have pointed it out many times over the decades, and the
response is always:
SO WHAT
WHO CARES
etc. So please forgive my grumpiness about if clang implements
it, suddenly it's the greatest, most useful feature ever.
It doesn't seem that surprising to me. If you want a compiler
that is fast, you use DMC, if you want a compiler that will do
coffee, you use GCC or clang recently.
I do think the user base you judge on is biased.
