Some are better than others even in this respect, but it really isn't a big deal if you pump up your tires before each ride.
If it's not this kind of very slow leak, there's a hole in the tube somewhere. Pump it up and stick it in a sink full of water. You'll find it.

And I suspect that multiple flats, especially with the leaking tubes (of the "wtf??!!?' variety), are due to user error.
