I get that impression, yes. :-)
It has the best debugger in the business, and still far outclasses anything in the GCC/clang ecosystem
It's interesting you say this. At least one team I was in during my 5+ years at Microsoft elected to (or in some cases had to) use WinDbg over the VS debugger.
It has a totally unique interpretation of the C++ standard
This sounds almost dangerous - like commending a criminal for having a unique interpretation of the law. :-) I thought we prefer compilers to have a correct interpretation of the standard.
It's vastly faster to compile, like 5x-10x faster as it's not an AST based compiler like clang and GCC.
This is interesting. Which (preferably public-available open source) project(s) have you compiled with all three, and what were the build times?
