Well, GC being better than it used to be doesn't change the fact 
it's still the worst of it's kind. I don't know if this[1] work 
actually got released or merged but looks like it's abandoned. 
Pretty sad as it seemed very promising.

Anyway, I was expecting a lot more people to tell their specific 
problems, like "bla bla design desicion makes ARC incredibly 
dangerous and we can't properly interface with Objective-C 
without that" or like "bla bla D feature overlaps with some other 
stuff and requires redesign to be solved" or maybe "being unsafe 
(@system) by default breaks the deal"...
GC is just one of the hundreds of problems with D and it was an 
example rather than the main point in this thread but thanks for 
anyone who replied.
