Just, we cannot support all the existing compilers (support kicad if 
already a big work).
A big advantage of gcc if it exists on **ALL** platforms.
(Of course, it is also free,
and using only free, open source under GPL sofware (including Kicad) 
means all guys can download and use it without license problem).
And we cannot test compilation with others compilers
(and therefore test if binaries have no bug or problem.)

You can test this:
in common.h
#ifdef _MSC_VER//add support for round under visual C++ 2005 express
double round(double x);
> #endif

in common.cpp
#ifdef _MSC_VER//add support for round under visual C++ 2005 express
double round(double x){return(floor( x+0.5));}
#endif

by the way, note round and atan2 uses only double as arguments
