I've listed many specifics before, but you'll have to hunt the 
newsgroup to find them. I'm sure they're right next to the 
official plan for the "delete" keyword, the "!<>" operator, and 
imaginary number literals.

How about the "D Logo and Slogan" thread? There's still confusion 
about which of the two equivalent alias syntaxes is more correct. 
I apparently made a static analysis rule that asks users to use 
the wrong one.

The "Which tools do you miss in D?" thread: A lot of these tools 
don't exist because the process of developing D tooling is an 
incredibly painful process of looking at the spec, Phobos, DMD's 
source code, and experimentation to figure out what D is, and 
even after having done all that I'm still not sure.

The real problem is that I don't think we care. Several people 
spoke about this at DConf last year and the only thing that's 
happened since then is that I've made people annoyed.
