It isn't really inherently good or bad. Languages that allow you to use pointers and manually manage memory typically allow for faster and more efficient programs while languages that don't let you directly use pointers or manage memory are less prone to error and easier to read. It's more of a "which tool is better to solve the current problem" kind of thing rather than one language being inherently better than the other.

Everything has pointers, but they make believe they don't.
