This is mostly a psychological effect of C++ folks having
aversion to any GC.
It is interesting to have watched this debate over the years.
Bjarne S. responded to the Java crowd by embracing the GC. He
still has on his FAQ: "If you want automatic garbage collection,
there are good commercial and public-domain garbage collectors
for C++. For applications where garbage collection is suitable,
C++ is an excellent garbage collected language with a performance
that compares favorably with other garbage collected languages."
