Intel's icc is a collection of special cases. If your code does not fit into this grid of special cases, it will be slow.
Your actual answer is called LLVM [llvm.org].

Other than that... Nothing can match Visual Studio. Period.
It's not necessary to match Visual Studio. It's important to be good enough. Many programmers are still relying on non-IDEs, so VS level operation is far from necessary.
I don't recall having an open source linux-compatible version of Visual Studio.

Open Watcom enjoys virtually no support. It is not going anywhere. It's another sucky piece of code that was no longer competitive in the marketplace. It needs developers like a fish needs a bicycle. No one in their right mind would waste time adding support for this compiler to KDevelop.
You know, the only people that I know that seriously dislike GCC are the commercial compiler venders. It's not perfect, but it has a major advantage that no other compiler has -- it frees the developer from worrying about vendor specific compiler issues when writing cross-platform code. One less thing to worry about.
