This is why I thought that those issues with the GC and things like RefCounted could have been fixed meanwhile. I would like to encourage the D people to put priority on fixing everything that is vital for surprise-free development in D. Because those surprises seem to me really being what drives people away from D, which is a pitty as it is really the best thought out language I have seen so far. For people not being C or C++ developers from ground up fixing those issues that pop up in D here and there themselves is simply too effortful ;-).
