Actually, many programmers switched to C++ in the 90s just to get 
function overloads and inlining without macros.

If you think C is just fine then I'm not sure why you are 
interested in D.

There is little overhead by using C++ over C if you set your 
project up for that. The only benefits with C these days is 
portability.

Which ones are you thinking of?
