Tango and Phobos are not competing with each other.




Walter needs and uses Phobos for DMD development.
The Tango guys are doing us (the D community, including Walter, Don, 
Kris, me, and "you, the reader of this post", and the future users of 
D), a great favor by creating the library that D will ultimately be used 
with (both on Windows and Linux, both with DMD and GDC).


To demand that Walter immerses himself in library development (as in 
Tango) would be stretching a single man's turf to beyond even Walter's 
stride. So, the current dichotomy of two libraries is /good/ for us.

This is not G. Bush vs. the world, it is about D.
