Hmm...really? I haven't been following this too closely, but that's not the impression I got from Steve Naroff's presentation (http://llvm.org/devmtg/2007-05/09-Naroff-CFE.mov ). So it didn't have anything to do with working with a maintainable and modular code base, issuing better diagnostics, providing better IDE integration, having the ability to create non-fat universal binaries, or post-link-time optimization? Maybe I'm just not skeptical enough.
