Hmm, they are tolerable to say the least. I think lots of people complaining with bad compile times are probably developing on underpowered laptops, which are definitely not the right tool for C++ development. I've never had an issue of long compile times on a reasonably specced desktop computer. Setting up ccache sure helps at times.

The wall of text generated by GCC/Clang/MSVC when template substitutions fail is a much worse issue, IMHO. Thankfully concepts help a lot in cutting off SFINAE earlier, so you don't get flooded with useless errors about the compiler trying to substitute random constructors in places or something.
