I don't think that's fair.  G++ was originally written by one of the
founders of Cygnus (while he was at MCC) and is being maintained by
Cygnus.  The problems with G++ are technical; RMS wouldn't have
had the time to be personally involved even if he had a more favorable
attitude towards the C++ language.
