Many GC languages like D offer the tooling to decide where to allocate as well, it is not GC for everything.

GC, untraced references, reference counting, stack and global memory segment allocations, OS system buffers.

The programmer also needs to do it in a way that works for a particular program instead of doing new everywhere.

The advantage being that having a GC around is much more productive for the workflows that don't need such hand tuning.
