I think the problem is, people are afraid that changes will hurt D. The mentallity to improve D and make it awsome is lost (at least if feels like it), now all what is left "WE NEED TO MAKE D PRODUCTION READY!!!1111111 COMPANIES USE D!!!!1111" which makes sense, but one shouldn't forget why D was "invented", to improve the programming situation and craft a language which is superior to all others and which allows to write simple clean but yet powerful code!
