why not? have you read my post in this thread? having a Qt-like 
or Gtk-like interface framework which would give users "widgets" 
by hiding declarative and glueing code would be practically same 
way as using other non-D toolkits including their D ports.

and this is another problem, while D has lots of users, the 
current active community is quite small(correct me if i'm wrong), 
and even in such case all programmers trying to do their own 
stuff because they think their way is more "correct", yes you can 
judge me too, but sadly this is the fact.
