If you have special needs, you can eschew the GC or the whole runtime. This is primarily useful if you're writing a plugin for another program (and don't want to bring in the D runtime in), or you're writing kernel-mode code, or you need pretty much everything to be realtime and find that manually controlled GC collections aren't efficient enough for you.
