Is D really that bad?

Maybe, just maybe, D does a lot of things right, in spite of doing a few
things wrong (that people love to pick on and complain about)? ;-)

What I can't explain, though, is why people who purportedly hate D and
think it's DOA still linger around the D forums for some reason, and
spend a lot of time and energy writing about why D sux.  Instead of,
y'know, moving on to Rust and living happily ever after, or something.
What's keeping them here?  Maybe they secretly love D and just can't
admit it to themselves? :-P  OR maybe they just have too much time on
their hands that could have been spent, I dunno, writing Rust or
something.  Really makes one wonder why they aren't spending their time
writing code in a better (according to them) language rather than
complaining about a language they purportedly don't like, in a forum
dedicated to that language.  It's puzzling.
