Note this is only the front end. I'm not saying that means small, 
especially if they are in fact writing a toolkit too.

I could definitely see a team who has worked on gimp being able 
to do something interesting with D in the graphics space. They 
wanted something more differentiating, that will certainly happen 
using D.
