ok, I am risking of being lame - but I simply had to share this with 
someone.. here is a small list (not tied to the language itself):

- every single source code project I have downloaded (or through SVN co) 
compiled from the first try! (this is what motivated me to post this er.. 
post).. I know it may sound lame - but this is "big" to me, used to C and 
C++.. compiling everything from source (including libs), managing linking 
etc.. everything just worked
- bud :) so simple, so powerfull .. haven't tried dsss yet though. I'm 
compiling everything through CLI
- DFL - do I need to say anything on this gem? Entice for forms design is 
also awesome - simple, elegant, works!
- Derelict - this library actually motivated me through examples to try D

I code through UEdit32 and compile everything by hand with bud - it just 
works! My code is an order of magnitude simpler than in C and speed of 
execution is on par - compile time.. wow

there is probably more stuff I forgot to write.. but in general, what I 
think D lacks for broader adoption is one major application or "style" of 
applications which would bring wider exposition.

I think you where just very lucky.  I agree though, if D wasn't a moving 
target, there are less parameters to configure which makes it much 
easier to get up and running.

Agreed it needs a foothold somewhere.

Mind posting your UltraEdit language file (for syntax highlighting, etc.)? I
was going to make one, but still haven't got around to it, and don't know how
hard it will be (esp. with nested comments and heredoc string literals).

Thanks!

Actually I only copied C++ keyword file to D keyword file. My color scheme 
works for me (for a long long long time) - that's the primary reason why I'm 
using UltraEdit... second reason would be full screen option :)

you can see how it looks like:
