I also came from a C/C++ background.  I used to have a pretty complex personal project written in C++, and as time went on it became more and more unwieldy and unmaintainable, and adding new features became harder and harder.  After I found D, I rewrote the whole thing from scratch in less than a quarter of the time, and ended up with something much less buggy and significantly easier to maintain.  Now I would never choose C++ again for any project.

Unfortunately I agree to you. When I started using D this forum was the brilliant place where many smart guys shared different information and I learnt many useful things here. But currently it is quiet and boring place because (I guess) the community lost many its core contributors and continue to do it. No offense intended.

Or it could be the case that you already know most of discussed stuff, and it is not as brilliant as it was when discovered for first time :).
