Except that it's still Objective-C, which means that one will be
able to evade memory management. This means that it will be
possible to do it by accident, and so the need for complex malloc/
free problem hunting will remain, though perhaps that need will be
reduced.
I don't follow what you mean. If you mean that if you turn garbage
collection on and accidently call -release somewhere that this will
be a hard bug to track down, you'd be wrong. It ignores -retain, -
release, and -autorelease.
