Well, one reason (certainly not the only one) I keep with the current dmd back 
end is that I don't need to spend time convincing some other organization to 
fix/improve/customize it for better D support. I can just get it done.

Being in control of the toolchain has a lot of benefits.

For example, look at gdb, and trying to get it to support D - not for the 
patches themselves, but getting them accepted into the standard gdb.
