why is "hello".writeln considered bad?

This is a good point. I find with D there are many different ways 
to write code and each can look different on the page. Where I 
work we mandated all D code will be implemented in Phobos style 
and use Phobos and mir source as guides. Some parts do heavily 
use UFCS/optional() and some parts do not. We have not had issues 
with readability, but maybe our D code isn't that complicated 
because it is mostly PC side data analysis tools.

Personally a really like UFCS, even `"hello".writeln;` and I 
think I'd rather have UFCS than autocompletion. But then I did 
start out in industry well before autocomplete was a thing so 
maybe I have never relied on it too much.


Thanks all for the replies!
