Sure, I agree with you.

But this is a recursive trend. Back when Assembly was king, BASIC, C and 
Pascal were used for tooling, with Assembly having the king's role.

Then the same cycle repeated itself when C was the king and C++ was 
slowly being used for tooling.

So now GC enabled languages are starting to replace C++/MFC/Qt in the 
tooling area.

Eventually a new replacement cycle will happen, even if we are still 
away from it.
