Is the D community lacking development tools?

I agree in almost everything what Jacob said.
I would say, that binding generator improvement is even higher than
testing framework though.

Tools are good, but making compiler and library more reliable is crucial thing.

Still, some kind of library which would share (AST or i don't know how
to name that) implementation with compilers front-end is just after
that.
I'm not really sure if that's what you mean (since you mentioned more
high-level features), but without separating some code out from
compiler, different IDEs will rewrite the same code again and again.
And i guess we all agree that single IDE wont satisfy needs of
everyone (of course  there is more uses of library like that than only
IDEs)
