I do think RMS is complicit with the destruction of GCC though. I know his heart's in the right place about exporting the AST but it's just pushed all the exciting stuff (Rust, Emscripten, etc) to LLVM which is licensed for a tragedy of the commons.

As all humans, RMS has something to be trolled about.
Ah, my pet peeve with RMS is his support for non-free (!) licenses on anything that is not software. Amazingly, I was able to convice him to change an -ND license to something else once, but that was... rather silly: https://stallman.org/doggerel.html#IveBeenAnsweringMyEmail
I still have not given up, though! ;)
Besides the GNU stuff, IMHO he is underestimated for GCC.
Absolutely.
Without GCC, besides linux, likely neither *BSD nor Apple would exist in its present form.

This, unfortunately, is slowly coming to an end, with llvm gaining more and more ground. I love competition, but I fear possible proprietarization of llvm and a large part of the FLOSS ecosystem: http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2014/01/26/llvm.html
