Some reasons:

1. elimination of .h files
2. array & string handling was so much more straightforward
3. elimination of need for many constructors and code to initialize things
4. easier cleanup with scope statement
5. templates are much more concise
6. a lot of boilerplate member functions are simply unnecessary in D
7. static if eliminates a lot of template source bloat
