Would like to pay for something that's not exists where there is
already like 10 "good enough"(tm) alternatives? How much people
actually use D and willing to pay for that?
That's the chicken-egg problem - no funding because no decent
solutions, no decent solutions because such enormous effort
requires compensation.
Another issue is that these hobby projects are not state of the
art solutions, they stuck in early 90's (ok, maybe late 90's),
where the rest of the world using different architectures and
approaches that was evolved several times from then.
And yet people who asks for UI libraries goes like "nah, no fancy
schmancy CSS, and no markup. gimme good ol' programmatical
approach" or "bloat bloat bloat, no thanks"
