This might be to gratuitous for most on the list, but diversity is almost
reason enough. And I don't mean this is some sort of fashion-way. I
think llvm and clang are interesting and serious projects.

Actually, to be honest, c programming with clang is really
nice, it gives me really nice error messages, which makes debugging
easier. I like it for that too.

is that some applications which have been written using gcc won't compile
using it, but gcc is also ok.

I'm not that interested in saving a few minutes compile time, or bytes of
memory.
