D is definitely more pleasant to use than C++ or Java, but it's the summation of a lot of little things being better rather than there being any particular, killer feature. The result is that I'd much rather program in D than other languages such as C++ or Java, but it's hard to convince anyone to switch over. Too many of the improvements are incremental and not enough are major for them to be convincing for anyone who hasn't actively developed in D. - Jonathan M Davis
