Nor will there ever be an agreement on those issues, just as there isn't 
outside of the D community. It seems to be kinda like static vs. dynamic 
languages where everyone has a favorite that more adequately suits them, 
but no objective best one.
Still, I think it would be reasonable to hope that at least in each 
category, there could be a standard (as in, de facto) GUI library.
