The fact that it's massively easier to alter and extend, that it provides incredibly more logical error messages, that it allows much richer plugins and non-compiler uses than GCC, that it was designed to be easy to use for editors and tools (which are more important than the compiler itself, IMO, and in the common opinions of anyone who actually maintains large and complex codebases)... these are why Clang is so awesome.
