You could say that, but many of us would not agree. Just because certain
classes of GCs cannot be used with D does not mean that the fact that D has
a GC built-in is not beneficial and ultimately a good design decision.
Plenty of folks have been able to write very efficient code that uses D's
GC. Obviously, there are use cases where it's better to avoid the GC, but
for your average D program, the GC has been a fantastic asset.
