* bad or missing tooling - true, it's missing but I wouldn't say it is bad
* no clear direction - agree
* no vision - there is but not well maintained unfortunately https://wiki.dlang.org/Vision/2018H1 https://wiki.dlang.org/Vision/2018H1
* no ide - VS Code with D plugin works pretty well these days. There is an IDE written fully in D too.
* no big company - true, but there are a bunch of successful smaller ones.
* bad or missing documentation - not true, std documentation is pretty good and is gradually improved.
And don't forget that notwithstanding the lack of people and corporate funding (D is crowd-funded), you get a language that attempts to rival the big guys and frequently outplay them. Now, imagine the results given the resources were equal.
