Even if he's right (and he probably is) manual memory management is still a premature optimization for most applications. C and C++ data structures are a PITA because you have to be so careful to avoid leaks and double-frees, so people end up using dumb algorithms. Worrying about losing cycles waiting for main memory is stupid if your high level algorithm is O(N^2).
