True as compared to C, but I wouldn't say this is true in general. C# and Java make it easy to refactor code rapidly. D doesn't have any such tools yet. It's my #1 wishlist item for VisualD and Mono-D, and I await such tooling with great anticipation. Maybe when the D front-end is a library, and tooling has such powerful (and reliable) semantic analysis as the compiler does it may be possible?
Needing a tool to refactor code is a bit of a mystery to me. I've never used one, and never felt that not having one inhibited me from refactoring.
