You're a bit behind the times, then.

Solaris 11.4 has the Garbage Compiler Collection version 11.2.0 these 
days (you can also have 7.5, 9.4, or 10.3), but I prefer the 15-30% 
performance improvement I get using Developer Studio.

Of course, this presumes that people are writing in C or C++, not gcc or 
g++, but many people these days think that, "It compiles on Fedora *and* 
Ubuntu", means it's portable.  (Note: "compiles" does not equate to 
"runs correctly".)  Lusers.

Not that there was/is anything wrong with OpenCSW, I used it heavily on 
previous versions of Solaris, but I find it less necessary these days. 
Looking at my latest 11.4 system it only has a couple of dozen CSW 
packages installed, and I can't recall why!
