Jonathan pointed out that people loose confidence when projects 
don't use their own tech if they have it. If this was just a 
single datapoint it would be a non-issue, but when it is a 
tendency, then it is a marketing issue.

The forum-index http header report:

Server:nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)

People check out stuff like that. The forum backend also use a 
standard NNTP server, not implemented in D? That's ok too as 
there is no D forum software... but having many data-points like 
that is not good if you want to positions yourself as suitable 
for hosting websites.

Just like writing special cased memory management for DMD is not 
good marketing of D's ability to support fast memory management 
out of the box.

It is better to take a performance hit and show statistics of how 
you improve over time. People react more negatively to stagnation 
than absolute numbers.

People do notice. One data-point, ok. Many data-points, bad.
