Writing a native D GUI library instead of wrapping a C++ one is a 
good idea. My big problem with the wrapper around Qt I'm building 
is that it will never run as efficiently as a Qt application 
written in C++ would, so that might turn some people away. The 
main advantage of writing the wrapper is pretty much that it's 
just less work, as creating a cross platform toolkit with an API 
as nice as Qt's takes a lot of time and effort.
