Reference counting isn't a general solution, and it is very slow 
when you allow flexible programming paradigms that generate lots 
of objects.

So, it all depends on how much flexibility you want to allow for 
your programmers and still having reasonable performance.

(The vast majority of high level programming languages use GC and 
has done so since the 60s.)
