Of course. But getting something done and available in a short amount of 
time is also good!

For example, some people say to me "why should I use D, when C++0x 
solves my issues with C++?"

And I point out "how many more years are you willing to wait for C++0x, 
when D is here now?"

[Setting aside for the moment the issue of whether C++0x really is 
better than D or not!]

The point is, good enough now gets us further down the road of getting a 
user base large enough to justify the effort for a more comprehensive 
solution.

For example, if I have many miles to commute to work, the best choice is 
a car. But if I can't afford a car, or am too young to drive, a bike at 
least gets me there. Before I was 16 and could drive, a bike was very 
liberating for me, I rode it everywhere.
