I've never really had the urge to use GC in Rust, but if I were to speculate, I'd say easier cyclic references would be one benefit. And depending on the specific GC implementation, you can probably get around many of Rust's ownership rules because Gc<T> pointers are usually `Copy`, so you can pass things around everywhere and not think about references/ownership as much.
