Sorry, but I honestly don’t get it. I I were to point out the crown jewel of open source, it’s gcc. gcc is the backbone and survival condition for so much modern industry that it’s not even remotely funny.
Take away gcc, and the world will likely burn for a substantial amount of time until people start making in-house or proprietary alternatives.
llvm exists. it might be a bit of effort if you’ve used too many proprietary gcc extensions, but for most things I don’t think it’s terrible to just switch between gcc and clang
What even are GCC’s advantages in 2024, besides “we painted ourselves in a corner with proprietary extensions” (e.g. Linux)? That aside I personally only see upsides to clang, but I don’t routinely do C work and maybe I’m missing something.

Well if you need something to work with Fortran…
