a much larger and more important factor is GCC's developers introducing hurdles and anti-features into their software to prevent third party plugins.Since this never happened, I doubt it. No 'hurdles' or 'anti-features' were ever introduced (the developers would be unlikely to do that, given that they were almost universally in *favour* of plugins!). Rather, the major improvements that *could* have happened earlier to improve the modularity of the huge ball of hair that was GCC didn't quite happen as early as they might have. That's all. It's still a ball of hair, certainly compared to LLVM, with a much higher learning curve.
