The simple fact that it is a GC. These debates aren't about 
technical details. You don't see the reddit detractors actually 
arguing implementation details - they just equate GC with bad.

But GC isn't bad. GC is used by virtually everyone, to big 
productivity and memory safety gains by most, and evidently, 
without seriously getting in the way by the majority of the 
remainder.... just like how D's specialized users who can't 
afford GC still manage to use D.
