One final note. You may have noticed I didn't mention the schema syncing problem (keeping database and code in sync). There was a time I would have said that was essential and while it would be nice in a perfect world, I'm comfortable keeping them in sync manually (or semi-manual with scripts). I can generate a bunch of classes from an existing database fairly easily and when I change a table I can manually update a class. If I was writing SQL directly I would have to update my query, this is really no different. Doing validation in unit tests is perfectly acceptable to me.
With D you can inspect all fields on a class/struct. Then you can create a migration tool that inspects your models and make sure the database match.
