Yes, I'm mainly a C# programmer. There are 4 years since I'm here
and I'm not disgruntled. I doubt that D is just "a system level
programming language", this definition is not even on the landing
page. On the contrary, the landing page talks about efficiency,
control, modelling power, safety and productivity. The original
OP complained about compiler error messages and the lack of a
true IDE, these are not "qualities" of a system level programming
language, I see them as basic failures.
My main complaints are also the compiler error messages ("Out of
memory" is the most annoying one) and the Linux-centric approach
of the development, but I'm far from being disgruntled.
