FWIW, the exact same thing was true with GCC when it was using GNATS.
No GCC dev's used it or paid attention, etc.
Within 2 months of the switch, there were even dedicated people
monitoring the database that came out of the woodwork (andrew pinski,
for example), and developers were using it.
It turns out if you have tools that suck, people don't use them :)
