I haven't used RTTI, but in my experience templates work without problems
and exceptions work most of the time (the problems I have may well be
my bugs, not egcs'). Namespaces need work: for example, there is no
clear separation between global namespace and the std namespace.
EGCS has contributed much to the progress. A year ago I didn't feel
like C++ was ready for my use on the GNU platform.
