Great questions!  GCC is nice and free, but does it come at a cost?  
Are there worthwhile "value-added" features for the more costly 
compilers?

The command line interface is slightly annoying but not impossible, 
even when I still have not completely solved my problem with runing 
the make program.  I worked around it and I am compiling just fine.  I 
soon will have the actual hardware. to try out.  Mavric-IIb and ICE-
cube.

I can manage with GCC since my needs are not complex.  But I still 
would like to know if the other $$$ compliers have features worth the 
cost.   I will be watching the anwsers to your queston!
