Is D1.x still supported and under development? Yes, though it almost never gets new features anymore, just bug fixes about once a month. See the changelog here: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/changelog.html

No problem with FF3. You should upgrade FF4 to FF3 I guess. :P

I'm very surprised that there are so many Germans who use D. Maybe the German D book is a reason for that. I don't know but it's pretty cool.

Dear D Community, is it reasonable to learn D? I've found a lot of good points for D but I've found a lot of negative points too. I believe that I needn't to list all the point for D but I want to give a few examples against learning D I've read in some German and English boards

I think your question is highly subjective. D is still a young language, which I think accounts for all of the negative feedback you've listed. I believe D isn't so young anymore. Version 1.0 was released 2007 and I believe 4 years are long enough to bring out some maintained GUI libraries. If
