Free Software development is often a fun task for developers, and it is its low barrier to entry (on average) that makes it possible to have so much available software for so many different tasks. This low barrier to entry, though, is also probably the cause of the widely varying quality of the code of these projects. Most of the time, the quality issues one can find are not related to developers' lack of skill, but rather to lack of knowledge of how the tools work, in particular, the compiler. For non-interpreted languages, the compiler is probably the most complex tool developers have to deal with. Because a lot of Free Software is written in C, GCC is often the compiler of choice.
