Considering what follows, I'm not sure about that, but OK.

Not sure what you mean here, unless you've opened a PR and I 
missed it?
My personal interests have nothing to do with whether a PR would 
get accepted or not by the people in charge of the website, so I 
can't see how you got "your answer for the PR".

That a possibility, but I don't care about whether or not they do.
I care about the quality of D itself as a PL, which in my 
(heavily) biased opinion won't be impacted by people who base 
their tool choices on website design.

So what's stopping you other than pre approval?

As I said, you aren't going to change my interests (and I'm 
reasonable convinced you won't change other peoples', either). 
The only reason I replied initially was so that whatever the 
prevalent idea was had a chance not to die off in the forum like 
most others who don't have a champion; the particulars of the 
topic itself weren't relevant to me.
What you do with that is up to you.

Convinced of what, exactly?

Thanks, but as I pointed out, the website's design is of no 
interest to me personally.
