12 years of wanting this suite but unwilling to pay Sun's price when GCC was available, and they finally wake up and figure out that it can only help them to make it available to all. Dammit Sun, I've waited a long time for you to do this... even come to harsh words with your top reps over your compilers after the switch from SunOS4 (my argument: no UNIX is complete without a C/C++ development suite).
Perhaps Sun really will become relevant again. I'm cautiously enthusiastic given today's announcements.
Not that it is likely that I'll go back to Solaris, but it certainly makes it easier to choose it for my existing Sun systems.
