My point of view is :
  1) phobos will be same as Qt basic frameworks (utf string, network, 
io,...)
  2) Moc try to provide some basic features of D that are missing in 
C++, like traits
  3) Widget model is deprecated
  4) QML isn't perfect, there is a lot of hacks (I use it for a 
commercial application every days)
  5) A D native GUI system will put D on stage, a such library it can 
demonstrate benefits of GC, signals, traits, concurrency,... on 
something that stay light.
