This post made me think.

Read point number 3.


Basically, there are problems with DMD, sometimes crashes and has 
codegen bugs. Codegen bugs is definitely not something you want 
in a big project because they are time consuming.

Thank you for posting real commercial experience with D. If I was 
a hard headed boss of the D project I would probably demand that 
the DMD backend would be scrapped and efforts should focus on 
stability with the support of GCC and LLVM backends.
