I love destructors and RAII. They're more elegant than "with" constructs and much safer (unless you have a fancy type system that warns you when you create a resource object outside a "with.") They're the only thing about C++ that I really miss in other languages.
One problem with the name Resource Acquisition Is Initialization
is that it is inaccurate: it's not always about resources, and
it is nothing to do with initialization -- what makes the idiom
tick is finalization.
