As pointed out by Nimble, you have to do it; otherwise you will most certainly leak memory. The subscribe/unsubscribe couple at work relies on the same principle as native Swift Notification Center/KVO observers: if you open a "channel", you have to "close" it.

The middle ground here is to use NSObject-Rx (by Ash Furrow) that prevents you from creating a dispose bag everywhere you import RxSwift in an NSObject subclass: simply call .disposed(by: rx.disposeBag).

I have created a code snippet in XCode for the subscription code and so its very handy that I don't have to type it in every time

I'm afraid since the dispose bag is a property that you tie to the object that is subscribing there is not much you can save in terms of boiler plate code.

May be you could write a convinience wrapper but still is it worth it? In my opinion XCode snippets works just fine
