Does D have too many features?

I could live without that one, because D has an alternative:

auto s = S(1, 2);


And I'd be sad if you took that out, as I use it a lot, especially
for trivial types:

struct Html { string src; }
struct Text { string src; }
struct Point { int x; int y; }
struct Size { int width; int height; }

which I like because then we can use the types for overloading,
static checks, etc., and it is very very simple to drop in and
use.

I guess there could be opCalls or constructors, but poo, it
works now without that and I like it.
