Then you haven't understood mixins. Using them like C-Macros is just one of several applications. A number of novel ideas to use them have already appeared on this list. Many more will probably be found in the future.
It is true that there are things that C-macros can do which cannot be done in D. Anyhow: most of these deal with changing the syntax of the language, and I seriously doubt that it is necessary to have that capability in the language.
One of the greatest dangers of D is that it looks so similar to C/C++, that you want to stick with the old way of thinking. Instinctively, you try to use the same kind of crutches that you got used to use in C/C++ instead of just starting to walk freely...

Instinctively, you try to use the same kind of crutches that you got used to use in C/C++ instead of just starting to walk freely... My first large C program looked just like FORTRAN <g>.
