+1, this issue is wayyy overblown by a vocal minority. D's design diverges from other languages, but that in itself does not make it a bad design. In the context of D it actually makes sense. Saying that D's design is bad because language X does it differently is logically fallacious (X is good, Y is not X, therefore Y is bad).
