Well, not unless it's a noticeable improvement inside. Since I can't really understand the algorithms at play, and they're both roughly the same "ratio of classes to real code", I see no advantages to it; just wasted time learning a new set of sequences of letters.

Prevent? Why cause?

I was mildly offended by someone saying that only "dead projects" use Phobos; like "only cool kids consume our product".

Yeah, I tried once but ultimately realized I was creating two separate programs from the same source to accomplish the exact same thing; and I found it unneccessarily(sp?) complicating.
Well, if you guys do decide to switch, I'll live. It's not like I can't learn API's and languages. I'm at something like 80ish and 37.
