I mostly don't, but only b/c it's currently so buggy it's not even funny.  I
just looked, I myself have filed at least 5 bug reports on it, 4 of which I
filed within a few days after the first version of DMD with alias this came
out.

IMHO the next big todo after 64 support is to tackle the general extreme
bugginess of alias this and inout, as well as the ref issue w/ opApply (Bug
2443).  These are key features for library writers.  Their bugginess severely
limits their usability, and right now a major criticism of D is lack of
libraries, so supporting library writers is kind of important.
