I understand the frustration, brilliant language but not so well 
designed ecosystem around.
Please be aware, that even the setup of the D Foundation is still 
work in progress. So we are still waiting for the foundation to 
offer some kind of supporting memberships.

But as Andrei A. told us on DConf, the foundation already is 
paying some students (a small salary) for their work. So best 
thing we can do is to push the D Foundation (Andrei+Walter) to 
optimize the support structure.

The good thing behind these obvious missing parts is, that there 
is a strong focus on the language itself, so I am convinced, that 
D is here to stay, so that every effort in learning the language 
is a well made investment.
