My money's on llvm/clang and gcc as well, though Microsoft Visual C++ is still hanging in there.
Fwiw icc once had a reputation for being fast but I never thought high of their software. Only hands on experience I had was with Intel Media SDK where even basic stuff, like finding a legal download, hardware requirements and installation guidance was tough. And then each iteration both software and hardware was deprecated faster than Google can dream to abandon their products.

Also, some of their low level libraries like Xed and Pin Tools are pretty cool, and seemed (last I looked) well-maintained.
- repelsteeltje 3y agoAh yes. VTune. I had forgotton that one, pretty good stuff indeed.
