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"
