Does it really change anything? Today people forget the
final keyword and tomorrow they forget the virtual
keyword? :D

What you prefer here depends on what languages you are used to
do (e.g. C++, Java), how much you use OOP for anything, your
use of unittesting and mock objects, your need for speed etc.

In any case D is often compared to C++ for memory management,
speed, executable size etc. And D is trying to appeal to too
many different fields of software development to be perfect
for any of them. So maybe this should just be solved in a
democratic vote after hearing the pros and cons. :)
