Given that the four most popular languages today (Java, C, C++, and C#) all function this way, I'd say it's fairly accurate. But I also didn't to say Final by default should be default in D (though I wouldn't really disagree with that direction either), I do think D should have a virtual keyword.
Whoops, that's wrong. Java is virtual by default. So I guess you're right, my statements aren't really justified.
