I don't really get why the memory management/ownership rules seem to be so hard for so many people. But I accept that they are, to some. If they are, maybe GC is a godsend to those folk, but for everyone else, I just can't see the big deal.
I don't think they are hard to understand, or even apply, at all. I just extrapolated - and, admittedly, did so without having the benefit of experience - that on very large problems, they would almost always cause a maintenance nightmare. Your 500+-class, millions-of-lines project shows that I was wrong in making that assumption. Not the first time that I make a fool of myself in public. :)
