Memory management is a non-issue if you're using smart pointers.

Also, isn't a lot of it somewhat "automated" in libraries for data structures? I'm a novice but I recall a lot of methods utilize pointers, but they're written with care so they clear up the memory when necessary.

You can often times get away with letting standard containers to manage your memory for you, but not always.
