Sometimes they are helpful, sometimes they are stupid, nearly always they are annoying if you get used to useing them then stop using gcc. Nested functions, typeof(), macros with variable args (I _really_ wish this was standard sometimes...), inline functions... the list goes on and on. I would be willing to bet you could write a short program using some of gcc's extensions that would look crazy to a good ANSI C programmer.
