I never called it a piece of shit personally. If you actually went through and read the mailing lists entries and the responses, you would get the impression that there is a lot of negativity towards GCC in favor of LLVM. Eric S. Raymond pretty much said GCC was irrelevant now and he wouldn't notice it gone and one maintainer said that he is going to put in LLVM support and doesn't care about RMS' and the FSF's ideology.

So in summary, if English isn't your primary language like others on this board, "piece of shit" is a sensationalized description of what those people mean.
