Actually, I own MWC and have pretty much settled on it.  It really
depends on your use for the compiler.  MWC seems to be the best
Unix-compatible compiler available for the ST (this side of GCC, but I
humbly put forth that only crazy people use it without 4M, and I don't
have 4M).  If I were developing software for GEM on the Atari, I'd
probably choose something different like Prospero, Laser or Turbo C.
