Or you can just do ls -d .* ?* which will work in other shells than bash.

True, but in bash you could enable the dotglob shell option, and have even a starting "." matched by "*":

$ shopt -s dotglob
$ ls -ld */
drwxrwxr-x 2 lem lem 40 2012-08-30 16:36 a1/...

I'm not sure what you are asking, but ls -lad will find other kinds of files than directories.
One way to get only directories:

ls -al | grep '^d'

That is because the shell wildcard * will not match the starting .. If your shell supports brace expansion, you could try:
ls -ld {.,?}*/
