Unfortunetaly that's exactly what should be avoided.
We chose Ada more then 12 years ago for safety and portability concerns, and
check our code against different compilers.
Being tied to one compiler vendor is exactly what you are likely to dislike
when you choose Ada.

Ada world is small enough to make you feel extremely uncomfortable if you
depends on one single company.
It is everything but nice to depend on Microsoft, it's not a very good
solution to find yourself in the same case,
but with a company which could disappear or drop Ada language within a few
years.
