I think the leaders are in over their heads. They have no real 
vision or plan to make D the language it can be. They are 
satisfied with their niche in the programming world.  They need a 
Steve Jobs type of person to make this stuff happen. Someone that 
understands what has to be done, in what order, and how to make 
it happen.

What D lacks is organizational structure! It's akin to a bunch of 
kids programming in their bedrooms cobbling together stuff and 
being ecstatic that it works(for them at least). D is basically 
stagnate(bug fixes and piddly stuff don't count), which is pretty 
sad considering it looks to be a one of the best languages on the 
planet.

If I said this stuff in North Korea I'd be hung!
