I think that those who bash D's GC are mostly those who would 
like to use D as an alternative to C and C++, while in those very 
few cases where C and C++ still remain the most obvious 
solutions, like OS/embedded/game-engine development, only the 
lack of a GC can **completely** remove the **risk** of a GC 
application freeze.

But for those who like me use D only as an alternative to 
scripting languages like Python, Ruby, Perl, etc, D's GC has 
never been a problem, but a blessing.

The only improvement I would be glad to see in D's GC is that it 
works incrementally (like Unity's new C# GC).

But very honestly, for my personal file processing scripts, as 
far as I remember this has never been a problem.

So I'm also happy to have the opportunity to use D for almost all 
my file scripting needs, as in this domain I can assure you that 
D is by far one of the best alternative out there :)
