I freakin' love it. I could write pages about each of the features I use and how applicable they are.
C++ is (literally) around a decade behind D, and takes the best features D already had... for ten years or longer. Better templates. Modules. Unit testing built in. Universal function call syntax. And tons more.
I use almost all of those features every day.
It's not perfect, there "are" flaws. But nothing horrific.
It's also "C++ + 1" so any C/C++/variant programmer can pick it up over a weekend.
I genuinely "enjoy" writing D code now instead of all the boilerplate C++ comes with. Things are progressing and eventually I'm going to release a game to Steam with D.
