In fact, from what I remember from the various discussions at DConf, I think we have pretty much the same opinion regarding how hidden costs are a bit too pervasive in present-day D, respectively how it encourages an inherently wasteful style of coding in more places than necessary. I also agree that in the current class design, virtual-by-default is dangerous. If we were to go back to the drawing board, though, I'd be interested in exploring alternative directions in the design space, away from the Java-style OOP model altogether.
scala's is pretty much the definition of awesome on that one. If it had to be redone, I'd push in that direction.
