GCC stands for "GNU Compiler Collection" - it'll create practically any
code you like that it supports. But that's not the point.
Why do they need to push a COMMERCIAL product as the "official" one,
especially when it's not controlled by the company pushing the OS? You
can understand why Linux' "official" compiler is gcc - because it's by the
same bunch of people. The same for Microsoft and VisualC++.

Exactly. It's just an example of blatant arse-licking on Amiga's part and
incredibly scary amounts of manipulation on Haage & Partner's front.
I'd rather they standardised on gcc itself, and made THAT "official", with
H&P as the commercial IDE offering.. but effectively they've secured
themselves as another expense for the serious developer, and sidelined
every other compiler effort (even verbatim gcc) to the "unsupported"
and "3rd party" arena.
Neil is damned right when he mentions the technobabble..
