I agree that much more time and work must go into it, especially a good working selection of libraries. But for the most part it does deliver what I described but not in all areas, e.g. web. However I will not agree multi-platform is the only thing D has over C#. Granted there are many great things about C#, but I tend to miss a lot of what D offers. Oh, and I need to figure out how to effectively use a GUI designer so that production is actually increased when making GUIs.
