That's a little harsher then I'd go.  Yes, it's true that gcc3 has *much* 
better STL (and the rest of C++) support than the older versions... but I 
wouldn't condemn the olders ones.  I did plently of STL programming with 
the 2.9x series with few problems.

Now I *wouldn't* go back to the 2.7 series (or older) and expect to do STL, 
though :-)
