I don't understand why it's such a big deal with the GC.

Ok if you want to build drivers or OSes related stuff.

For AAA games, I can understand, but they will not switch to a new language as long as there is no engine like Unreal or Unity3D (GCed) that worth the switch. And the rest are indie and a GC will not affect performance.

For web services, GUI application, the GC would be desirable because it will enable the developper to work on the business model and not the computer model and it will removed stupid memory management kind of bugs. Plus, 1200 fps vs 1120 fps is not faster since we can't see the difference.

Is it that the D's GC is really slow or really memory inefficient?
