It's basically snobbism.
I know your response is *tongue in cheek*, but I actually find it
easier to use c++11 style memory management across the board than
mixing two models.
C style memory management, on the other hand, is pretty horrible
and you'll end up spend much of your time debugging
"unexplainable" crashes. I don't experience that much in C++ when
staying within their standard regime.
When you want more performance than standard C++ memory
management, things can go wrong e.g. manual emplace strategies
and forgetting to call destructors etc, but that is the same in
D. And frankly, you seldom need that, maybe 2-3 critical places
in your program (e.g. graphics/audio).
