gcc is the choice for a lot of open source projects on *NIX world. It 
has so many de facto standards which have been used in development and 
makes the efforts to port projects to Studio hard. As we go along the 
OpenSolaris road and contrib repository is about to available, it's 
highly possible that two lines of development will emerge as I see. One 
is still with Studio and another go with gcc.

For C++ based projects, the situation is even worse. I'd hope that the 
ARC 2008/549 (http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/549/) 
could partly easy the porting of C++ projects.
