Well written, Heywood. I liked the cat allegory. I could go on and on  
thinking about the philosophical aspects of using this "pet". But I also  
agree with Timon. The perceived situation on my end isn't bad any longer.  
Those who use D for a longer while have noticed that the annoying bug rate  
went down to an acceptable level, where you don't want to jump off and use  
C++. I just opened a bug report for a missing optimization opportunity. I  
would not have done that a year ago, thinking that there are still enough  
real bugs to be fixed first.
