There are great C++ projects, but the big compile/link times they have are not a small deal. Also the compiled libraries take a lot of space. Examples:
Qt, wxWidgets, LLVM, boost
Hopefully we have IncrediBuild at work, and we don't have to deal all the time with such huge frameworks.
You don't have to build these libraries from scratch every time. You could store pre-compiled binaries in a shared drive for every possible configuration, and developers can simply copy them to their machine. Not that big a deal.
