Hey! This old fart here prefers D1 instead of D2 because:
 - it has enough features to satisfy his needs, both in language and in Phobos
 - it is known how it works, it works correct, and there are docs describing it
 - there are less things in it, so it is easier to learn and play with it

Hell, if C is useful tool and you cant get simpler than it (asembler excluded), then D1 is full fledged corporate tool with great std lib.

So please, don't flame D1, or youll have some angry old men on your back :)
