It's great to focus on D's "awesome..ness".

But don't be afraid to write articles on the non-awesome features too.

A balanced focus that demonstrates critical thinking is also very benefical to the language. When I don't see that, I get suspcious of group mentality...etc.

That's what I like so much about C++ ... everyone seems to hate it .. for some reason or another, while at the same time they easily find ways to demonstrate how amazing it is.

That's the kind of critical thinking the D programming language can use as well.

Agreed. But I don't think D suffers from that mentality. It's the opposite: Evet in conference presentations you see complaints about shortcomings of the language, the library, and everything else. :)

Strangely, even though it's bad for marketing, I actually prefer a community like this over a religious one.

I don't think they are the same group of people.

Again, we don't have any shortage of self criticism.
