> GDB and WinDbg will also be replaced by LLDB
This is the longest shot of what you mentioned. I can see a future where the llvm toolchain dominates but people still use GDB because of muscle memory. (Unless LLDB changes its commands to match GDB.)
Also GCC is guaranteed to live for at least 50 yrs because of freetards. GNU has die hard users and developers who would rather die than leave. LLVM has money, big money. It remains to be seen which matters more.
