It is competition for GCC - because we offer a nice IDE, a whole set
of examples, 
integrated flashing and debug, and our own tailored C library.  We
only use GCC for ARM 
as a compiler and GLD as a linker, nothing else.

If you want to build your own tools and roll your own, fine, go right
ahead, nobody is 
stopping you.  But enough people see value in what we add to grace
our store.
