I couldn't agree more. D needs to pick its poison :)

I don't think there is enough people interested in a high level 
language in the D community. If anything, I see D becoming more 
and more of a system language over time.
Therefore, I am *thiiiiiiiiiiis* close to just forking it and 
tweaking it to be more high-level language. I'm mostly stopped by 
needing to write code completion though
