A few updates on the current state of things today.
The Tango/Phobos split has been resolved for awhile. You can now use Phobos, Tango, or both in the same D2 program.
The number of libraries and bindings is growing rapidly. There is the new dub package manager that makes it easy to include dependencies < http://code.dlang.org/ > and Deimos which is a collection of C library bindings < https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/ >.
GDC and LDC are both actively developed and kept up to date with the state of DMD.
It used to be you'd usually hit a bug while working on something in D but the community is really starting to notice they aren't hitting many bugs these days (especially over the last year or so). < http://dlang.org/bugstats.php >
Everything is up on Github now < https://github.com/D-Programming-Language > and Walter is just one of 21 committers. Github says dmd has 72 contributors and Phobos has 116.
If you don't like D2's template approach though you probably still won't be happy with it even with almost everything being better. Personally I love the power it gives you without sacrificing speed.
