has Clang taken over GCC yet?

No, it produces slow code and doesn't support AVR.

It doesn't compile all my software to my satisfaction. Maybe next year.

If it ain't GPL it's shit.

Clang is great to use compared to GCC. It compiles a lot faster and the impoved error messages are actually helpful.

On the other hand, the claimed performance advantages are against GCC 4.2 (the last version of GCC shipped by Apple), and GCC has improved a lot since then. It also doesn't work very well on non-Darwin platforms although support is improving for platforms other than Linux, where the GCC+glibc-mafia don't want any competition. As >>2-kun pointed out, it doesn't support a whole lot of CPUs either.

As an OS X user I'm very happy with Clang and LLDB, and I'm sad every time I have to use GCC.

Bampu. I'd like to see more Clang vs. GCC flame.

No flaming for you. As we are speaking, the most ardent Clang and GCC proponents are jacking each other off as a sign of peace.

has Acid taken over GCC+Clang yet?

Clang/LLVM is faster than GCC 4.2/4.3, but GCC 4.4 and beyond, especially with -flto using the gold linker (when it doesn't crash), is faster than Clang still.

Give it another year or so. There's still a fair amount of low-lying fruit to be picked with the LLVM back-end code generators that will improve code optimization.
