I wish I could use D for everything

C# is pretty reasonable. I see a fair number of things in recent 
versions that have been in D for a while, and some other vaguely neat 
things that D doesn't have on occasion.

My main complaint with C# is a lack of interesting template 
capabilities. For example, I find that I often need two classes that are 
extremely similar with some minor exceptions, and in D I could just use 
a simple template, whereas in C# I have to duplicate the entire class. 
(Think arguments to attributes.) The foreach situation you mentioned is 
just silly, too.

On the other hand, my main complaint with D is the lack of reflection, 
including attributes. I rarely use reflection in C#, but I make 
extensive use of libraries that use reflection a lot (Rhino Mocks, the 
Castle project, NHibernate...)
