D2 is in danger of becoming a camel i.e. a horse designed by a
committee...

Frank.

As far as I know, the 'committee' consists of a gang of three, with Walter firmly at the driving seat, all working very hard to flesh out a language, create an innovative library and quality compiler. All the tools and libraries you mention are being created. In addition there's also LDC which is shaping up nicely. Not to say everything is already here, but that is a question of time and manpower, not direction.

What's up with all the negativity lately? Impatience?

Some people think D2 tries too much, and neglects the really important things at the same time. For example, D2 tries to solve the concurrency issue (which is a hot topic which makes D look good at sites like stackoverflow), while still relying on a 20 years old linker written in assembler.
