So, was Apple's Obj-C GC not very good? Certainly seems to work fine on my OS X apps.

No, it was pretty good. I suspect the ultimate problem was that no progress seems to have made in porting it to iOS, which meant that two memory models had to be maintained.


I've heard it suggested (not from anywhere remotely authoritative) that GC may be one of the reasons for Xcode 4's instability. Is there any likelihood that this might be true? What are the chances that Apple will rework Xcode to use ARC?
