A lot of the frameworks do it. There's RC in GNOME/GTK, C++ stdlib, and built into Objective-C.

And of course it's easy to think of lots of apps that heavily use those or another form of GC.

Regardless of what you consider a GC (let's not have that debate for the millionth time on the internet...), for the point I was trying to make, I was not including RC as a form of GC. And I don't think Fil-C relies solely on RC either.
