Should I stop being interested in D language if I don't like to see template instantiation in my code?

[BoQsc]

I don't like to see exclamation marks in my code in as weird 
syntax as these ones:
> to!ushort(args[1])
> s.formattedRead!"%s!%s:%s"(a, b, c);

I'm not sure why, but template instantiation syntax is prevalent 
in the documentation examples of d lang libraries. It almost 
seems like every other example contains at least one or two  of 
them.

It look horrible, and I'm feeling like I'm being forced/coerced 
to learn from examples that do not provide alternatives to the 
template instantiation syntax. Even if the alternative examples 
were provided, why would anyone want to have syntax as ugly and 
weird as current template instantiation syntax with exclamation 
point in the middle of the statement with all other things that 
come with it.
