I'm obviously biased, being on the D forums and all (although I used to 
be a fan of both languages, a long time ago), but IMHO:

I find D lets you get things done quicker/easier (worker cost) and 
potentially run a little faster (hardware cost). Though I image other 
arguments might be possible in favor of C#, too.

Not too bad in D. With D, bugs do get fixed, AND if you really need a 
fix right away you can always just DIY.

With C#, you're pretty much stuck with whatever MS feels like working 
on. There's very little feedback and community outreach. It's *their* 
product, and their business strategy dictates where development 
resources go. For example, people have been needing some sort of 
IArithmetic (counterpart to IComparable) ever since generics were first 
introduced back in v2 (so that you could, y'know, actually do arithmetic 
generically), but even to this day MS never really did bother to put it 
in or really even acknowledge the matter at all.
