Similarly, some of them seem to make the assumption that a problem makes it
so that you don't want to use D (e.g. it talks about features discouraging
you from using D), which personally, I never find to be the case. There are
features that I get annoyed with for various reasons, but they don't
discourage me from using D. They just make it harder and/or less pleasant.

Assuming that I have free reign to pick which language I'm going to use,
about the only thing that's going to make it so that I don't use D is if I
really can't do it in D in a reasonable time frame, whereas I can in another
language, and that's pretty much only going to be because I need a library
that simply isn't available from D and would be too time-consuming to make
available from D - especially if I'm in a hurry. No feature of D is going to
make me not want to use D.
