IDE is not just a nice interface to write code.

While it is easy to agree with you, I don't think a lack of IDE or even libraries is something one should expect to be addressed by the language developer. Those are issues one can find solutions to if D is suitable and different people have different taste. Go and Rust have been in the same boat. This is not a show stopper...
So I hope the focus stays on language semantics, syntax, runtime and memory management. Emacs with D-mode works ok for now, I think.
