At least a few point can be made, like:
* For reference types use classes, or use structs with
reference counting
* For sub typing use classes, or use structs with alias this
* For polymorphic types use classes
* For value types use structs
* For deterministic destruction use structs
That's a good point to start. The points above could be fleshed
out in a tutorial or article. Another good section would be the
pitfalls involved in using structs. I think it was H. S. Teoh who
mentioned a subtle bug due to a missing ref or something like
that.
