Great points to make dlang.org more welcoming.  Where it is now 
is much further ahead then years past.

I read your post but I don't think we in any disagreement.  I 
think everyone can agree that it would look better to others if 
dlang.org used it's own web framework.  Whether or not it makes 
sense to actually implement it is another question.  Since I'm 
not intimately familiar with the internals of dlang.org, or the 
consequences of switching, I don't assert that either way would 
be better.  I am, however, pointing out that there are going to 
be poeple trying to share the D language in a negative light, and 
dlang.org not using vibe is exactly the kind of thing these 
people will feed off of and possibly use to turn off others from 
the language.
