Do you have a something to support the "much better Fortran support" comment? I don't think that comment is justified.
My impression is that GFortran is no worse than those 3 compilers, or any other available Fortran compiler. One popular Fortran benchmark (Polyhedron) supports that impression, see:
http://www.polyhedron.com/pb05-linux-language0html
Note they're comparing the latest Inter Fortran compiler (v11) to a 3 year old GFortran (v4.4). GFortran in more recent GCC releases has further improved significantly. (NB, Lahey and Absoft are Open64-based, like PathScale).
Also performance wise GFortran isn't so bad, and still improving. See:
http://www.polyhedron.com/pb05-linux-f90bench_AMD0html (v4.1, poor)

Does gfortran support Co-Array Fortran? I think it may support a limited form (intra-node only). I'm fuzzy on the details.
Certainly gfortran is improving but I wouldn't call it up to the same level of standards support as other Fortran compilers.

One popular Fortran benchmark (Polyhedron) supports that impression, see: Have you actually looked on the links you've provided? Just count “Yes” and “No”. GFortran is much better then it was just a few years ago but it's still far behind other implementations. Almost as much as C++11 support is ahead of the others.

FWIW, for my code with Fortran 2003 features (73000 loc stats package), the executable GFortran produces is significantly faster than from the other 5 compilers I use.
