None, that don't get in my way. If a feature is opt-in then if 
you don't use them there is no big deal for me.

What is a big deal for me are features that don't work or are 
half finished.

Example of this are shared, @safe, @live (not a comprehensive 
memory management feature) and probably ImportC.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that the D project is 
broken and must be revamped, that is D3. I think that D should be 
forked with new people and management. Hopefully this enables 
more focus in the project and that D can evolve in a more usable 
language that isn't full of holes and half thought out features.
