I came from C++, and I found it easy to adapt. Plus, like it says in the
link Steve gave, there are technical downsides to using <>.
LOL. I use C++ in my job, but I use templates in D so much more than I
do in
C++ that I now end up using !() instead of <> unless I catch myself. I
actually ultimately much prefer !() - especially since you can reduce
it to
just ! when there's only one template argument and it doesn't have any
periods
in it.
Though honestly, if a programmer can't get used to a slightly different
syntax, then they're screwed anyway. Every language has its quirks and
differences. Syntax is a very small part of all of that. Really, the
syntax is
the _easy_ part. It's the semantics where the real problems start as
far as
adapting to a new language goes.

the statement to<float("123e2")> is more easy readable then
to!float("123e2") for example
Except you ironically got the easily readable syntax wrong...
