Using SGIs STL library won't make the compiler namespace compliant and last time I saw a GNU++ compiler it wasn't a full IDE like my Borland was. Besides being knowledgeable about non-standard syntaxes increases probability of understanding legend programs. Bottom line, I think there is something to be said for knowing both the old and the new. If you do more than minimal programming you're going to run into both anyway.
