I actually find it easier to leak with gc than without. Gc effectively hides the problem well, while non-gc is easy to debug with tools like valgrind.

GCs don't eliminate leaking, they eliminate use-after-free, and can also be used together with other language design choices to eliminate any kind of memory corruption (like in Java).
