D2 is really that stable as it is claimed to be?

D is not claimed to be stable, or those claims are wrong.

About three years ago I used to find a new compiler bug about 
every 20 lines of my code. Now the situation is improved a lot 
and I am able to write more lines before hitting bugs. They have 
fixed hundreds of the bugs I have submitted, so dmd is now more 
debugged for the code patterns I usually write. If your code 
patterns are different from mine, you will see significantly more 
bugs than me :-)

Of course you should continue to submit bugs. Fixing 100+ bugs in 
every D release is having positive visible effects on the 
language+compiler. If you submit bugs and they get fixed in some 
days/weeks/months/years, your code patterns will work more and 
more.

There is no official roadmap because D is not developed in that 
way, and because there is not enough workforce. Perhaps someday a 
roadmap will be present.
