It isn't necessarily a problem of not having a decent compiler. For example, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ships with GCC 4.6.3, and currently the 4.6 branch of GCC provides only partial support for C++11.[1] The 4.7 branch also has a few holes in this department.[2] I wouldn't say that GCC isn't a decent compiler. Knowing this, a considerable number of people do use GCC, and even if a C++11-compliant version is released in the near future, a significant number of people will be stuck with a version which doesn't comply with the C++11 standard, and will be in that position for a long while.
