In fact it's also a technical problem. GCC is not design to fit in
an IDE.
Backend and frontend are tightly coupled to prevent creation of
proprietary backend.
I doubt that is really the reason, since GCC 4.5 (still under
development) got a plugin system that makes replacing its backend very
easy. In fact, people are now working on an LLVM backend for GCC (as
opposed to a GCC-frontend for LLVM, as with llvm-gcc) using this
plugin system, see http://dragonegg.llvm.org/
