Overlooked ? No. Using ? No. Disliked and abandoned ? No.

Quite a few times I've seen on the web people saying something 
like:
"D looks *really* nice, can't use it right now, but definitely 
keeping eye on it"

Same with myself. Keeping eye on it since mid-2010.

 From what I've seen so far, I'd say that's quite possible.

right ?
