C++ will never be where D is, because that also requires *dropping* features, not just adding them. Something the ISO committee will not do (C++ carries around a lot of backward compatibility to the 70s after all). Besides that, C++0x apparently doesn't even take care of all the major shortcomings C++ has (like the lack of language modules, responsible for the ridiculously slow builds and namespace/header file chaos), because the standardization process is too slow (see recent video of Stroustroup talk). If you look at what D has done in that time, calling it slow is obviously nonsense.
Another plus for D is the fact that there is little to learn for C++ programmers. First and foremost D is very C++-like. It is the details where it differs. Details, that most C++ programmers are annoyed with in their language.
