Yes, I'm mainly a C# programmer. There are 4 years since I'm here 
and I'm not disgruntled. I doubt that D is just "a system level 
programming language", this definition is not even on the landing 
page. On the contrary, the landing page talks about efficiency, 
control, modelling power, safety and productivity. The original 
OP complained about compiler error messages and the lack of a 
true IDE, these are not "qualities" of a system level programming 
language, I see them as basic failures.

My main complaints are also the compiler error messages ("Out of 
memory" is the most annoying one) and the Linux-centric approach 
of the development, but I'm far from being disgruntled.
