I can't even agree with that.
Simply creating arrays and exceptions make prototyping so much 
faster and more convenient with a GC, I will never miss that 
again.
And after profiling there are almost never more than a very few 
inner loops where removing the GC is a performance gain - so I 
turn it of in those few places and do the manual memory 
management (which at least is feasible if it is only about few 
objects) and have both: fast development time and fast execution 
time. Why would anyone ever want to change this?

In fact: it doesn't matter if the GC is slow and imperfect. 90% 
of the code is executed so rarely that bad GC just has no 
measurable effect. And in the remaining 10% you can turn it off.
