I believe in D's potential and that's the reason why I'm not 
developing IDE and GUI AppKit as an open-source project. Sorry, 
but I don't have any motivation to spend 2 years of development 
something that will not bring me anything. Actually, I want to do 
it  for full-time and only way how to do it is be paid by large 
company or make the company by myself.

You cannot expect that people doing theirs full-time jobs will 
have free time to collaborate on open-source projects. Look, how 
long it takes to fix bug in D compiler.
