Plenty of us aren't (in fact, personally, I'd never have gotten into D if it
didn't have a GC), but it certainly comes across that way a lot of the time
because of attempts to make the folks happy who don't want the GC. IMHO,
while being able to do stuff without using the GC is great, we've harmed
ourselves by continually trying to make C/C++ people who hate the GC happy
with D. And we keep getting into arguments about how to do stuff because
there's a divide between those folks who are happy that D has a GC and those
who don't want anything to do with the GC. The result is kind of
schizophrenic.
