Yep. Me too.

Coming back to D was a real shock. 

Kinda returning to the Ferrari factory after a similar period, having
previously seen the prototype F450,When you left, it had clean lines, parred
down framework and a great engine.

When you return you discover it's been fitted a hybrid drive train, a 1/4 tonne
of batteries and the slick, 7-speed floor-shift has been swapped out for a
3-speed auto box.

The last thing I ever thought I would see, was D become "buzz-word complient".
It's such a shame to see such a promising beginning get sidetracked off into a
world of academic theory and computer science correctness. The promise was that
because one guy with a pragmatic vision and the skills to make them so, held
the ropes and was steering the thing, that D wouldn't be subject to the pull &
push of academic group think nor the quagmire of design by committee.
