I'd add:

7. D has all (well, most of) the power of C++ but with a grammar that is sane
enough to allow decent tools. The state of C++ tooling is abysmal, because it's
so pathologically awful to parse. Going back to C++ development after working in
a refactoring environment (e.g. VS+ReSharper for C#, or Eclipse/IDEA for Java)
feels like being dragged back to the Stone Age; productivity drops through the
floor.
