I would probably get by without support. But there are a few features I 
would really like before the development on D1 ends. I'm thinking 
particular on dynamic libraries.

The latest release was a great release which brought 64bit support to 
Mac OS X and new CTFE features. I wouldn't won't to miss that because 
I'm using D1. It seems CTFE is still not completely finished and I think 
it's sad that every feature in D1 won't be implemented.
