I've been using C# pretty extensively for the last year or so. 
Superficially, at least, C# and D are pretty similar, eg auto 
(var), foreach, lambdas, classes and structs. C# is more biased 
towards OO than D.

Metaprogramming is significantly weaker in C#. This is probably 
the one area where I've wished for some of D's functionality.

Reflection is all runtime.

C# has some AST capabilities that D doesn't. This is probably the 
main area where I envy C# when using D.

And C# has LINQ, which when combined with the last point is 
fricken awesome.
