Well, one has to agree on a definition for a start! :)
If you sit around waiting for arbitrary perfection, you'll never get any work done.
I pick the most stable tool for the job. Meaning I usually end up with C, conservative use of C++, Python 2.7, Javascript, SQL or XSLT… :-P Rarely D and occasionally Dart (which isn't particularly stable either and is rejected beacuase of it) and Php (which is pretty stable).
It's a matter of priority. If the D maintainers don't care about reaching a stable state, at the expense of scope and features, then it will never be the best tool for the job. I regret that.
