D2 is an unstable test branch of D.  Its constantly changing with new 
features.  I should say its stable enough to use, its just not 
finalized.  D2 has more cool time saving feature not found in D1.

D1 is more stable and is getting more stable.  Its features rarely 
change.  Also D1 is a smaller language so it might be easier to learn. 
Most libs only support D1 and will so for quite some time.

So the question you should ask yourself is... do you want to live on the 
wild side or not?
