Well said. Sometimes it feels like some individuals want D to 
fail for some reason, I don't know why. I made this thread (at 
least tried) to point out that D is actually good, and you can 
use it, today.

Let's stop complaining and focus instead on making things better 
and keep improving D.

It doesn't need to be big to count, just anything. Update the 
wiki, fix a spelling error, make sure information is up to date. 
Everything is valuable. Also, please try look at what the 
leadership is trying to do, and not just what they haven't done. 
They deserve way more appreciation, it's many hours of work and 
doesn't happen by itself.
