@nogc is mostly a PR thing IMHO. It has value in that it helps you find places where you accidentally used the GC (though if you really care, you can always use the profiler as you point out), and if @nogc is marked explicitly, it makes it easier to see which functions can be used in @nogc code, but ultimately, it really seems like it's there simply to appease the folks who don't want any GC usage at all.
@nogc is great for making sure code doesn't allocate(by GC means, anyways.)
