Not really. Most proprietary compilers aren't very proprietary any more. 
The Intel C++ compiler uses the open-source LLVM as its back end, and 
Visual C++ can be configured to also use LLVM.

LLVM is really taking over the compiler world (and for good reason: it's 
kind of awesome). We're going to see more and more 'proprietary' 
compilers becoming proprietary front-ends to LLVM.
