Well I've ported quite a bit of C++ code to D.
And on the whole I'd say that there isn't really much to say.

Most of the issues I've hit have been bugs in dmd or optlink;
which clearly have nothing to do with the language itself.

Unless you need pointer to members/pointer to member functions, just 
about every bit of c++ is easier and more straight forward in D.

Just plough ahead and ask questions if you hit an issue.
