No, not really. There's a lot of thing about it I don't like, so I never use 
it.

So they cant just insert an if statement on the line before to check for  
exact match before trying the search?

Yeh, denied because "search is really hard".

I personally think that asking there would bring more public
attention  to D, but it all depends on whether there are enough
people there who  know about D.

For instance, I might have a couple of question about gtkD, as I'm
trying to play with it right now.

More D visibility on stackoverflow would be nice.

Post it there then link to it here so people will find it. I only
visit stackoverflow when googling takes me there.

someone should write a bot to do that automatically. Kinda like for the 
bugzilla.

I use the feed at http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/d to keep an eye on
any D questions as they pop up.
