One needs multiple implementations to confirm the accuracy of the 
language specification. D still has one implementation, i.e. one 
compiler with multiple backends, distributed as multiple 
executables (with tweaks).

Anyway, I think people complained about the first and only 
compiler being non-free. That's not relevant  now, of course.
