There are tons of improvements happening all the time done by 
various contributors. I'm sure you can find other examples of 
things that don't seem to get improved, but the truth is that 
building a language ecosystem is pretty big endeavor (*) and 
there will always be parts that seem under developed. I suggest 
you observe the awesome work that many contributors are pouring 
in, before jumping to conclusions:

Check the changelog for the last 5-10 major releases:
* https://dlang.org/changelog/index.html

Language implementation:
* 
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pulls?q=is%3Apr+sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aclosed

Language documentation:
* 
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pulls?q=is%3Apr+sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aclosed

Dub package manager
* 
https://github.com/dlang/dub/pulls?q=is%3Apr+sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aclosed

As for std.experimental.logger, it's currently in the process 
being promoted out of experimental:

* https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/8489
* https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/8486

(*) this is not an excuse. All issues that you pointed are real 
and must be taken care of. I'm just saying that you should adjust 
your expectations based on the scope of a project like this and 
the contributor's priorities and available time.
