What, if any, do you dislike about GUI like Qt, Gtk+, C#'s WinForms, etc and you would do differently with D?

I think many elderly people would object to that statement. :-)

Games are different though. They are basically designed in the 
opposite direction: what kind of fancy interface can we have, ok, 
let's fill this cool interface with content...

Whereas a productivity application is more like, we have all this 
content that we need to access, how can we make it available in a 
way that works for people with many levels of digital competence 
and in a way that allows us to continually add to it?

Anyhow, most users are more familiar with web content than native 
apps these days... Maybe Google Material is the best option.
