I have provided several:

* As stated the D its focusing the wrong group of developers
* Too much old baggage and regressions because of it
* Too much complexity from trying to focus on that specific 
group, who seem to see D as only 10% better and not worth the 
switch.
* Clear issues in the library that people keep stumbling upon
* Library issues
* Lack of default OFFICIAL libraries like HTTP(s), database 
access, ...
* Just a long list that is known for years.

Very few with the resources are interested in actually fixing 
them and they prefer to focus upon BetterC. And discussions about 
DUB. What else can be said...

And most of the points mentioned above require such a big change, 
its never going to happen.

How to fix? It only gets fixed when the people above put forward 
a clear goal for the language. When that is lacking and people 
move at random like headless chickens with the end result?
