Purely anecdotally, I spend very little of my time thinking about what passes for manual memory management in C++.

For me the big attraction of GC is memory safety not convenience.

Until one tries to do GUI programming, then it is Rc<RefCell<>> everywhere, or arrays with vector clocks for managing old entries.
