If the D GC really is quite so bad, why hasn't a cabal formed to create
a new GC that is precise, fast and efficient?

I suspect Python's RC/GC approach is one architecture, whilst Java G1 is
another. (Ignore all previous GCs in OpenJDK, they "suck". Sadly the GCs
other than G1 that are interesting on the JVM are proprietary.)
