Simpler - true. But having more complex problem to solve just makes more important to have *better* organization. And D community approach is of weekend developers that discovered VCS & test suite, but know nothing about branching and project planning.

Completely not relevant. Number of developers have nothing to do with project organization. There is a lot of software there equal or more complex that are product of just a few or even single programmer.
