    Depends on your needs. gcc is popular though.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    gcc is pretty versatile. For example, when you want to compile a Fortran program, its there.

    You should have mentioned ``and free''. That's gcc.
    slackware 10.0; kernel 2.6.7
    gcc 3.4.0; glibc 2.3.2; vim editor
    migrating to freebsd 5.4
