Actually the pre-GC way (retain-release) boils down to some simple rules that don't seem like micro-management at all to most Cocoa developers who have internalized them. It's true things can get hairy, but not as often as you might think.

I was referring specifically to complex retain cycles in a large object graph.

you do whatever floats your boat. I'll do what floats mine.

I think my boat sunk, 'cause I was using integers rather than floats.

No, no, it was the memory leaks!

Or a buffer overflow, perhaps ?
