I haven't had a really big problem with vibe.d, except for the ctrl-c 
bug (which I've worked around as described).

I agree with the OP of this subthread that it is the most important 
problem for vibe.d (and vibed-core really).

I wish I knew how to fix it...

My experience with getting features into vibe.d has been good, I've 
added a few and Sonke has been very receptive, even if his responses are 
delayed (he must be really busy). I've been there too.
