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 :-)
