The fact that its community, when faced with the question "What do you think are the worst parts of D?", will readily have a 35 page verbal fistfight over what the worst parts of D are.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that discussion is happening about such things, but I think it may be better to have it in a more structured manner in the future, and with a little less emotional investment.
That being said, the second worst part of D for me is the current state of documentation, which is something that is often mentioned. I'd be happy to take part in a "docs initiative" where some of us sit together and talk about how we can improve the documentation of the language, collect input from outside, and then implement the changes that are found to be necessary. This would make it easier for people who don't wish to set up the entire build environment for the documentation on their side to participate in documentation adjustments by giving feedback, while a somewhat dedicated group of people then focus on making decisions reality.
