I've never been more careful to avoid any allocation as I have been in Unity. I had fewer memory concerns in C++ for crying out loud.

Seriously! Once they've fully upgraded .NET and the GC, we'll all sigh in relief.

I would 10,000x rather have to match new with delete (big deal) than to maintain the revolting unidiomatic contortions I'm obligated to do to outwit the GC.

Great point. I may actually have to re-evaluate Unreal 4.
