The phrase "How bad really is the D ecosystem?" only asks a
question, but people tend to interpret such sentences as "D's
ecosystem is really bad". What works better is:
"How good really is the D ecosystem?"
Your suggested phrasing sounds overly trite to me. I would
maybe go for 'Is the D ecosystem really that bad?'
Again, never write "Is the D ecosystem really that bad?" unless
one wants to give the impression that the D ecosystem is bad.
Because all the dear reader actually sees is:
D ecosystem bad
I agree, it's far easier for people to focus on the negatives
than the positives, using any word that has a negative
connotation will likely deter the average newcomer from
continuing their journey.
Walter's version can be used, or if one wants to sound neutral:
Check out what the D ecosystem has to offer
Can be used instead
