4.3 is a huge improvement over 4.2 which was already a huge improvement over 4.1, etc. It seems that the refactoring that led to gcc 4 is paying off.
Some of my c++ code is quite demanding (expression templates, crtp...) and therefore pushes the compiler to its limits. With every version I can see gcc handling it better and better, and when I see a regression and file a bug report, the devs are very reactive and efficient at solving it.
In fact, it is not uncommon now to have gcc produce better assembly than icc does -- something that would have been unthinkable not long ago.
