So what exactly is coming with extended C++ support?

Is that all it would take? Do you also need a GC-free standard 
library, which seems to be the need of all the others saying "do 
this and I'll switch from C++"? Are the tools good enough?

I don't think anyone is saying C++ interop is unimportant. There 
are a lot of us already using the language and we don't think C++ 
interop is the only thing that has value. More important IMO 
would be releasing a compiler without a bunch of regressions. D 
is a lot more than a C++ replacement for Facebook or video game 
developers.
