Hmm, that's not the impression I get (aside from Tango which was a 
pretty large effort).

D1 had a lot of little libs that briefly blipped and got abandoned. D2 
has code.dlang.org and github, and maybe(?) a few fewer libs overall, 
but what libs it does have tend to be more stable/mature. Almost like D2 
was kind of a shake-out, filtering out less serious/mature projects and 
giving the others a better foundation to grow on.

Of course, the rapid pace of language development around the D1 days 
made it harder for libs to be well-maintained anyway, compared to now.
