I am so glad GCC came and took over, even if I didn't have to live through this era.
The standard choice being free and good (best, in many cases) really can't be overstated.

Only then it started to gain momentum from people not willing to pay for Solaris Developer SDK. In any case, I bet people using free beer tools enjoy being paid for their work, so just maybe they should also think in giving some money to the authors of those tools.
