You should abandon D if you require (hard no compromise):

1) Shared libraries (D, not e.g. C)
AND
2) Languages features like classes (and with it type info)
AND
3) Cross platform support (Windows mostly is the problem atm)

Some may say, but it works for me! But it doesn't work for most users. 
It simply hasn't been designed as an experience.
