The reason is much more likely that the expectations are set at a level where D does not deliver. If you want a production environment to be judged favourably it is a good idea to set the expectations one notch below what you deliver. There is a bit too much hubris in how D is portrayed and therefore you get a backlash, from actual D users.

I agree that the D community raises the bar quite high for itself and other people might get the impression that everything is perfect, while it isn't. However, a lot of complaints are about IDEs, one click installers (i.e. the tools) and not about how D handles floating point numbers.

Could you line out how you would like a language to be so it doesn't bore you stiff?
