Speaking of which, Tango exists to /help/ both the community and D progress. 
It wasn't written for a giggle or a lark, and has been a truly expensive 
proposition (in various ways) for several of those involved <g>

When you step away from the hobbyist level, D would get nowhere fast without 
a broad and cohesive library. Tango is designed to be an answer to that, is 
generally delivering at this stage, and is set to blossom in the very near 
future (wait and see). A number of people feel that something (perhaps 
intangible?) is missing and we're trying to get a handle on that, while at 
the same time trying to figure out what people really expect from a 
phantango merger. What's important to me is this: if a merger does /not/ 
resolve the pain-points, then it would a worthless and expensive exercise.

To qualify that we need to identify those pain points. That's what this 
thread is about, and I'd like everyone to toss something in the bucket. I 
mean, there are people here who claim to really dislike Tango. It would be 
really helpful if those folks could/would also chime in with what their 
specific dislikes are?  Without that, we're kinda running around in the dark 
bumping into each other ...
