I think that any real programing project now days (regardless of language) 
needs tools to help the programmer. The difference between D and C# is that 
with D you /can/ get away without an IDE and with C# you won't get much at 
all done without one.

I think we /already/ have a language that will get there sooner or later. 
D is commuted to a path where that is it's only /logical/ conclusion.

Well, not if we play our hand right. Nothing man ever made is invulnerable 
to man.
