Yes, but when you try to make people move to a different language, you
have to do considerably better. When I have to choose between something
well know, well supported and mature and something that is, at least,
unknown (even if it's mature and well supported, I won't know that until
I use it a lot so is a risk), I want to be really good, not just barely
good.

Details as this one are not deal breaker on their own, but when they are
a lot, it tends to make the language look ugly as a whole.

What bugs me the most is there are a lot of new constructs in the language
that are plain ugly, from the start. D is buying it's own baggage
(__traits, enum for manifest constants, now the case range, and I'm sure
I'm forgetting something else) with no reason...
