I think problem of Phobos/Tango incompatibility affects not application  
writers, but libraries writers. If someone writes some application domain  
library (XML parsing, SOAP support, event-driven framework and so on) then  
he/she can use Phobos or Tango, but this choice divides users of than  
library to Phobos-only or Tango-only. An attempt to write big library  
which can work either with Phobos or Tango would lead to undesirable  
amount of version statements in code (as in good old C/C++ times with many  
#if/#else).
