Now stack these advantages against the advantages of template

This is a false dichotomy.
We could have both (i.e. add traits to D), but would we want to? --

Yes. Most template code would benefit from it. For the same reason that
being able to bypass the type system is important, you also would like
that most of the code don't.
I think we disagree here. It doesn't seem to me that adding features to
D is helpful at this point. -- Andrei
