I have found many times that GC can be unacceptable do to unpredictable
delays even on non-embedded, real-time and safety critical systems. Go
explain to a power user of large Java programs why they have to occasionally
wait to regain usable control of the application do to GC crunching. (I
believe this had a part in the demise of Corel's Java Office Suite. Applix
just uses Java like an X terminal and does the real work off site.)
