You will never satisfy both worlds (simplicity vs flexibility). Both 
Phobos and Tango have their place in the D community. It is unfortunate 
many people in the D community fails to see it. Also, it is unfortunate 
(but very easy to explain) that Tango project started as a complete 
implementation of the run-time library. We debate this for years on irc://
irc.freenode.org/d and it never ends. I belong to the group that like the 
way Phobos does things, but unlike some people I think Tango is a 
brilliant, high-level library. I wish we had druntime when Tango project 
started, but nothing is lost, I believe Tango2 project will fit nicely on 
top of druntime, and live long and prosperous life.

The reason why I also like Tango (even though I never used it in anything 
serious) is that it reminds me a lot of Java API which is robust, reach 
and intuitive. Tango IO is very similar to Java NIO...
