The thought never occurred to me that it was cult-like.  My thoughts were
1) cool! I can find (most) all of D related projects in one place
2) cool! These guys are serious enough about this to setup their own 
sourceforge
3) cool! It's not s***forge!

Sourceforge is popular (and I use it a lot) but there's very little 
excellence there.  It's free and well-known.  That's about it all it's 
got going for it.  Various services are frequently down or unusably 
slow.  And it would be hard to imagine worse web interfaces than the 
ones they've designed for just about every aspect of project management 
and distribution.
