There isn't a single piece of GNU project software that is actually, objectively good. It's usually bloated, spec-deviant or bloody useless.
Examples: coreutils, autoconf

It's not objectively better than everything. There are other C compilers that demonstrate better results for a given metric. GNU's C compiler's strength is in its architectural platform targets and its mature features. Chances are, you can throw valid C code to GCC and it'll produce an acceptable binary for a given platform.
