gcc is bloated
If you're interested in a lightweight C implementation, look at TinyCC.
You pick software from one of the largest open source projects on the planet and compare it to the pile of shit that is TurboC.
I compared GCC with Visual Studio, which is a commonly used, modern implementation of C (unlike Turbo C, which is designed for older platforms). You seem to be missing the point of what I wrote, though. The fact that you think I suggested Turbo C makes it seem like you didn't really read my post, and hence, didn't realise that I was just using that comparison to demonstrate a larger point.
My argument is that propriety software, in general, have a more motivated and organized team working on it which leads to better software.
Yet you don't provide anything to back that up. Why would ethical issues that determine how a program is licensed have any significant effect on the quality of the code that is written? The skill of the people writing the software, and their dedication to it, I would think, are much larger factors.
