On an actual operating system, the attitude of the developers (do they actually care or just don't give a darn) is *the* critical issue for end-user productivity. If a developer makes a statement such as of "just get a faster computer" or "just get more RAM", then (s)he probably doesn't give darn. C++ applications, just like Java applications, tend to leak horrible amounts of memory these days, just because the vendors/developers don't care.
I'll note that Python core developers do care about memory leaks. At least one module is tested for memory leaks in a nightly task. When found, leaks are patched.
