I mostly use D at my spare time to write tools and libraries for D, 
[1][2][3][4] to mention a few.

I've managed to sneak in some D code at work for a tool [5] that helps 
building slides using Markdown and a build job in GitLab. This is now 
used for our weekly meeting to build a combined slideshow. Although 
nothing in production yet.

Yes. The first question that comes up is: "who is using D?" and "are 
there any developers that know D?". The lack of libraries in some areas 
is not helping.

TextMate with the default D bundle [6], can be downloaded directly from 
within TextMate. DMD, RDMD, DUB and DCD.
