Maybe D is right about GC after all !

I'm quite similar. New to D (been using it for a month now). I 
see it as a better C#. The GC is great to have. Even better is 
the fact that D makes it easy to bypass it where necessary and 
the language gives me more control over my program if I need.

I wish D would stop bending over backwards to appease C/C++ 
programmers. I think D would have more success branding itself as 
a general purpose language and letting itself become the language 
it should be, not the language some C++ programmer wants but is 
never going to use anyway.
