Is it realistic that anyone can actually use raw d-string's in an app that performs a lot of string manipulation?
Yes.
I bet most people end up with a custom string class anyway...
That does happen, but much more rarely than one might think.
Who's written a string-heavy app without their own string helper class? I ended up with a string class within about half an hour of trying to work with D strings (initially just to support stack strings, then it grew).
A lot of people write string-heavy apps with the built-in strings. "Heavy" actually describes a continuum. No matter how you put it, improving the performance of built-in strings is beneficial.
