Absolutely sensible move. Time for Microsoft to do the same with MSVC.

I disagree. Competition is good.

Don't want to end up with every C/C++ compiler being a clang skin in the same way as (almost) every browser is a chrome skin.

And for what it's worth cl compiles faster for me than even clang-cl. I like having both available though.

I'm not sure I love this. I mean, LLVM is awesome and everthing, but software monocultures are pretty bad. It's not like the situation is dire yet (given that there are also GCC and MSVC), but you can imagine a situation in a couple of years when Microsoft goes "yeah, we're also gonna go with LLVM now" and also GCC starting to fade away. It's a bit concerning.

Also: if icc is going to go with LLVM as a backend, then what is the point of using icc at all? Why not just use clang?

Anyone actually use Intel compilers

They are used in High Performance Computing as far as I know. Not systematically though.

Yes, this is the only place I see alternative compilers used much. We have Intel and Nvidia compilers available to our users.
