When I meet someone new who says they settled on D in their

I actually agree this is a big issue and one of the killer
features to me.
But, I also need to point out that there's a selection bias going
on here: of course D's users today like D's strengths today. If
they didn't, they wouldn't be using it.
I've also heard from big users who want the performance more than
compile time and hit difficulty in build scaling..
