GC is shit.

Why can't everyone just use C++ and C and throw away all GC-languages.

It's simple, just write all your applications in C++ and all your OSs in C and everything will be fast and beautiful.

Is there any place where using GC would actually benefit in any way? I think not.

sure.

And I'm saying, for most programmers, who don't have that particular combination of factors, GC is almost a requirement. To not use it is to not use the right tool for the job.
