Well I think it is a fair thing to do. GC is a tradeoff, and 
while not usable in all situations, makes thing way simpler when 
it is usable. The usual story is my ho so important real time 
thing can't possibly tolerate a GC, while, really, most of the 
code is going to do mundane tasks like UI and only a small 
portion of it really needs not to have the GC in its way.

It just good engineering to use the tools available when 
appropriate.

As opposed to "you can't climb a mountain with a bike, so you 
must not go to the shop buying climbing equipment with a bike 
either".
