There is nothing wrong with having a GC however the issues are 
(IMO):
1.The current implementation of the GC.
2.Doing manual memory with classes in @nogc context is impossible 
(Destroy isn't @nogc as it called the finalizer function 
directly!)
3.Lots of things needed to work before -betterc is useful in c++ 
heavy projects.
The paranoia stems from java terrible GC implementation, it has 
gotten better over the years, but the damage has been already 
done in terms of reputation.
