D has many libraries that end up not being maintained, so the 
most important thing is to retain users, and then one needs to 
understand why they leave. One key issue that has been mentioned 
in this thread is that people leave because of inconsistencies in 
the language.

Or maybe the other way around, because the language has aimed for 
clean semantics and syntax in addition to being stable they get 
many libraries…
