I used to exclusively use clang but IMO gcc is just as good if not better. Both are pretty bulky but sometimes the LLVM toolchain can feel like bloat. Most of the time GCC is preinstalled on my linux distro so I don't even need to install it I just git clone my projects and run my Makefiles. The only reason I ever use clang now is on my chromebook because gcc isn't available through Termux.
