While I may agree with your other points, I believe that learning memory
management is a crucial component of programming in any language. Using
auto-generated accessors to gloss over memory management is probably
more damaging than an up front effort at understanding the basic
principles. When it is time to debug ref count issues, the lack of
understanding will make that task all the more difficult.
