I'm 100% positive you can do good ui using D, but, I'm not sure what I'd choose because of the fragmentation.
Of course you can do a good UI on D, C, C++, Rust, or any other system programming language. That is not disputed. From my humble point of view, the problem, seems to be that everybody is attempting to reinvent gun powder for whatever reasons, many maybe valid ones, but the lot of them I think not.
