Two important things that I miss in D are a D UI, as you said, 
and a really good IDE (written in D, stand alone, 
cross-plattform, open source, modern features and so on).
I would offer time for developing these things, cause I think it 
would be a great contribution to the D toolchain and would boost 
the popularity of D.

But I dont know any interesting project.
The UIs are "just" wrappers and the active IDEs are "just" 
extensions.
I dont wanna say that these projects are poor. I see the hard 
work people invest in it. But these projects aren't what I'm 
searching for.
