I haven't checked recently, but the most noticeable missing feature of cproc, as well as some other compilers, were VLAs. When someone writes the support for VLAs, cproc & co. will become much more usable. The simpler compilers generally work for smaller projects, but for many existing packages, for now there is no real alternative to GCC and Clang/LLVM.
