i'm guilty of this myself (ranting and so on), so i've been on both sides. when i just came to D, i've immediately noticed alot of obvious things that should be fixed for good, and sometimes wrote about that in "hey, listen to me, i know what to do!" manner. but as time passed, i've seen many other posts similar to mines. if it was so obvious, D devs must be really dumb to not see that by theirselves, right? and if they are so dumb, i don't think that they can program at all, so D just can't exist! but D exists, so something is wrong in this logical chain. ;-)
Nah, this just means that you have gotten used to the quirks and learned to work around them and therefore no longer notice them as much. That does not mean that newbie's are wrong in complaining about obstacles.
Lack of libraries is not the most reasonable thing to complain about, but language and tooling issues are fair game.
