Some of us don't quite have the luxury of fixing our tools (MSVC++ I'm looking at you). Considering the sheer complexity of languages like C++, it's unsurprising that there will be problems here.

I've been a blamer of tools as well, but I've convinced myself that it's ultimately wasted effort to do so. Better to simply come to terms with the fact that there do exist bad tools, that they ought to be avoided when reasonable, and that they should be used with care when necessary.
