I agree that understanding how the GC was built is very important. Little nuances like forcing workstation mode and explicitly calling GC.Collect can make all the difference. You can get very far with a GC language like this. The part that bothers me are the built-ins that allocate. TPL, AspNetCore, et. al. If I want a truly zero-alloc C# solution, I have to go all the way to the bottom with abstractions like Socket, NetworkStream, SslStream, etc.
