Copying GC is actually very compelling for the right use case (and in fact was part of the standard JVM GC model until it switched over to G1GC). It's particularly useful when you have small, fixed sized objects (hello there cons cell!) and low survivorship (hello eden space!). In the right use case it also helps performance because it increases cache locality.
