Well, here are a couple of points:
* License
* General quality of system (GCC is written under the paradigm 'learn
     writing compilers as we go')
* Possibilities for exploiting the cross-CPU nature of XANDF
* Better error checking/control
* Choice (by being able to be compiled with more than one compiler)

They might not be enough to be persuative, but they are at least in
favour.
