As long as you're willing to ignore all the evidence, I agree. 
The GC has never prevented anyone from doing good things without 
the GC. Look at the excellent work on Mir, for instance. The 
things the anti-GC crowd complains about simply a reflection of 
the lack of demand for D as a non-GC language. If there was 
demand, someone would already have done the work making that 
stuff available.
