It would be nice to look at it (LSWV). So many cool features. Too bad its proprietary. :(

Is the cost prohibitive? Dolphin wasn't free, but it was really cheap and a quality product. Keep in mind that while programming languages have been largely "commoditized" the best implementations of many languages still cost money. E.g. you want the best C compiler? It's not GCC. Buy the Intel compiler and watch your code run twice as fast.
If you define best best as "longest bar in some benchmark". If you want to run your software only on Intel chips, no AMD, no Motorola, no Sun, no .... If you want to put up with all kinds of trouble and issues compiling software that was written with GCC in mind like all the GNU/Linux software. Maybe even Squeak thanks to gnuify. Yeah, then ICC might be the "best".
