Object-oriented code not use virtual functions much? If you don't need virtual 
functions, then use a struct, not a class. Classes are polymorphic. Structs 
are not. In general, it doesn't make a lot of sense to use a class in D if you 
don't need polymorphism. And if you do need to but don't want the functions to 
be virtual (e.g. you want to use a class, because you want a reference type 
without going to the trouble of making a struct a reference type), then you 
can just make all of the class' public functions final. But that's not the 
normal case at all.
