Maybe, but in general, I write what I use, and right now I don't 
have any significant new D web projects in the pipeline. I still 
have a couple old ones going, but the new boss said no in 
switching to D from Ruby (the rest of the team doesn't know it), 
so the question now is: do I want to spend my nights writing 
something I won't be using right now or doing something else?

for now, the answer is doing something else. That might change 
eventually tho.

I think the vibe.d folks are doing pretty cool work too. 
Actually, my web.d could arguably be used with vibe.d; a vibe 
backend for my cgi.d is a realistic possibility, and then web.d 
is a pretty straight-forward add-on on top of that.  In fact, it 
might not even be very hard, I just haven't tried yet.

(And the other libs are already independent, I think Nick uses my 
dom.d with vibe already.)

Though, my little httpd isn't awful so again, "works for me" is a 
lot of inertia to overcome.
