I've used boost's shared_ptr library without hassle. In D, that library
is unneeded because GC is built in.
I agree that using a new boost library does take a considerable amount
of time. In many cases, I end up saving time in the long run by not
implementing (and debugging...) similar functionality. I've liked the
boost libraries because I know that after I finish learning how to use
them, they'll work cross platform and have plenty of features I'll want
once I realize I need them. While the docs, ability to follow code, and
initial debug when using the libraries isn't very appealing a guarantee
of underlying code quality is.
