I'm 5 years an expert at PyQt5 in conjunction with QtCreator-designed widgets. Where D is lacking is a good GUI editor and GUI library support.

I am starting by building a python-based project called QDmt = Qt/D manager

It will do for you, in a cross-platform way, the laborious task of compiling the Qt framework from git:

https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git

And also it will guide you through building Qt Creator itself. We can then use this tool to help us hack the Qt Creator code and make it work for D (assuming a plugin isn't enough).

Building Qt is quite essential, as I am unable to get OpenGL support without building it for example.

So not only will we get traffic from TDPL people but from others who are only familiar with Qt and had to build it for some reason. This would then be the goto tool for that.

Then they will see firsthand how easy it is (at the click of a few buttons) to work with D.

This will cause a huge influx of users to dlang.org and a rift in the spacetime continuum!
