I can't recommend whether D should or shouldn't be used based on 
your description. You can build stand alone GUI apps with DFL, 
and probably DWT. QtD and GtkD likely need their libraries 
shipped around.

Documentation is pretty bad for DFL, but DWT has all the SWT docs 
and translation isn't bad.
