Is D really that bad?

I like the D system. We sort the code to files with similar logic 
way we sort it to namespaces anyway. Having to add a namespace 
block that encompasses the whole file to every single of them is 
just annoying for no good reason.

Now I wouldn't mind if there was a way to have in-file modules in 
addition to a file being a module (though I'd question if the 
additional complexity is justified), but if I have to pick one or 
the other I prefer the D system hands down.
