Well core.simd is used by a lot of people already.

My understanding is that before core.simd there was no vector 
extension in LDC or GDC, or, it would be even more different 
without that specific core.simd effort.

intel-intrinsics does use D_SIMD now, it's a slow work in 
progress, so that to exploit the capabilities of the DMD 
compiler. SIMD support only got better in D and DMD since Remedy.
