Because this is what people do! To avoid the bigger issues, which 
are hard, grueling, mind-numbing and without short term 
achievements.

The good news is that with proper management it all could be done:

1. Proper D IDE with great debugging, library, and resource 
management.
2. Fixing the GC/phobos mess
3. Cross-platform Gui and 3d graphics library
4. etc...
5. etc..
etc...

The great news is, that there are people working and willing to 
work on all these things. Also, most of them already have 
"Solutions"(not necessarily the best but people know what they 
needs to be done at least.

The problem?


Someone has to manage all this and see how all the pieces of the 
puzzle work together, knowing how each interact with each other, 
and guide those working on the individual parts as they so they 
can achieve their goal, which fills in large parts of the puzzle.


Basically someone needs to step up and become the tzar/overseer. 
Someone that spends their time managing everything and allowing 
the worker bee's to collect honey.

As it seems to me, most worker bee's are a bit confused on what 
they should/could be doing because there is not a clear and 
precise roadmap on what exactly needs to be done to reach the 
goal. (but there have been many maps made)

(It's not as bleak as I've implied, just saying there is 
significant room for improvement in efficiency, which seems to be 
the main problem from my perspective)
