Name me a C# or Java desktop program that doesn't have annoying GC pauses or stutters. Name me a C# or Java desktop program that isn't bloated and slow compared to the equivalent C++ program.

Programmers choose GC languages because it's what they want, not what users want.

Maptool is written in Java and it runs as fast as anything else I use.
