I'm sick of running into Phobos bugs and limitations while trying to make my code work. The only thing holding me back from switching is that Phobos is, for better or worse, the _standard library_. If Walter dropped it for Tango(bos), I'd be a very happy critter indeed.

Exactly the same feeling.

Maybe GDC could make the step and provide tango as the standard library.
If successful, I guess DMD will follow that path.
