Used all of these three. I don't want to even look at MS Visual C/C++ ecosystem.

Actually when it comes to C++ 23 library features, MSVC is ahead of both. In fact, as far as I can tell, MSVC is the only compiler that fully supports all C++ 20 core language features at the moment. So credit where credit is due, MSVC has gotten way way better the past few years. Visual Studio is still awful, but the compiler has become quite competent.

they can't compete with clang and gcc anymore, not with proprietary compilers, there is a fuck tons of companies using gcc and clang, and investing in thoses, microsoft can force it's users, but can't with apple and google etc
