1. Tango/Phobos/D2 compatibility. This problem has been around for way too long! A fragmented community leads to many problems. Druntime integration into Phobos would solve 70% of this problem.

2. Speed of built in types. It's a sad day when a user realizes they have to rework their  code to eliminate AAs and array appending.

3. GC scalability. N threads means allocating memory N times as fast and there's N times as much. There's no point using D on an 8 core machine.

4. Return by reference... a[x].property=1 should just work...
