Comments from the webpoll:

problems with installing both version in one system

Don't really need anything from d2. Const maybe, but it's apparently not 
ready yet.

until tango works with D2.0 I stay with 1.0

tango only for 1.0

See NG posts about tango and const

D1. Too many announced code-breaking future changes are yet to happen.

I'm using version 1 becasue of Tango compatibility

I was using it, but decided to wait for the const changes to go through.	

I actually (for the most part) like the new const, and the new invariant 
is what pulled me over for a couple of my projects.

I'm use D 1.0 with tango in a small real world project, and would expand 
the usage if this time D prove itself.


Waiting for the const issues to be resolved properly

not as stable (both implementation and spec).

working with multiple guys i cannot live without const

Bud will compile on either

I'm waiting for it to stabilize.

first! 0ffh =) [btw. drat compiles with D2.005, i suppose i'll have to 
update it for 2.006)

I'm waiting for const to be settled


---------------------------
My summary:
Looks like the main reasons for not going to 2.0 are
* Tango
* waiting for const to be settled
* generally waiting for more "stability"
