Well... Bubble, echo chamber, baby duck syndrome and all that.

When people are not heavy users of D, there may often have a 
reason. Many language communities actively listen to what the 
critics say and often try to acknowledge or even address the 
issues. If Dlang just wants to dismiss criticism as being 
irrelevant because it comes from someone who doesn't really use 
D, then all that will achieve is that 10 years from now there 
will still be threads "Why is D not popular?" ;)
