Well, this compat breaking from gcc people plus non "old and crutfy" support on distros is making C++ (and gtkmm) a non possible platform for ISV's making software for Linux. And ISV don't have resources to package their application for every Linux distro, setting up repositories, etc... They just want to put a package and allow people to download it and install it easily. We have very few ISV making software for linux now, because we have very few desktop share, but this is changing...
