Many of the proprietary C++ compilers (Intel included) are just repackaging of the EDG front end. The monoculture has existed for a long time in the C++ world due to the complexity of implementing the language to spec.
Honestly, I think it will be great to have one less set of compiler-specific oddities to worry about.
- MauranKilom 5y agoMSVC does not use EDG for the frontend as far as I'm aware. IntelliSense does, though.

- account42 5y agoFunnily, the only reason I ever used ICC was as a linter since it was the most easily available EDG-based commpiler for me and different frontends help find different bugs.
