I tend to believe D is conceptually more complex than C++. Which means 
it allows for more expressivity. But it has far fewer warts and a 
simpler syntax.
I believe it takes as much time to learn D than to learn C++ (i.e at 
least 6 months), but you end up writing more secure and more powerful code.
