Languages where the GC usage is unavoidable (Javascript and Java) 
have created a lot of situations where there is a GC pause in 
realtime program and the cause is this dynamically allocated 
memory. So a lot of people make their opinion of GC while using 
setup where you couldn't really avoid it.

For example in Javascript from 10 years ago just using a closure 
or an array literals could make your web game stutter.
