Of course D might not be the best choice for a particular task. 
Many times Python or Java is the obvious choice however D has a 
special niche with compiled language performance and memory 
footprint. Right now D often isn't considered at all where C++ 
would be a contender.

Despite the popularity, the way I think is that with D I'm able 
to out compete people who would otherwise use C++ or similar. I 
can produce a solution faster which is also more stable.
