Agreed.

Having used GC languages for the last decade, I think the cases 
where manual memory management is really required are very few.

Even if one is forced to do manual memory management over GC, it 
is still better to have the GC around than do everything manually.

But this is based on my experience doing business applications, 
desktop and server side or services/daemons.

Other's experience may vary.
