Because it was/is a work-in-progress when they first got 
interested in it, and it was also advertised as a replacement for 
C and C++.  It was also assumed that one could expect significant 
improvements on the GC as the language matured. But of course, 
computers also get more and more memory to scan…

Both. Some use D, but not the GC after initialization. Some 
wanted to use D (in production), but has put that on hold and are 
just waiting to see where it is heading. Some gave up on D for 
low level programming and turned to other languages.

So yes and no. ;-)
