I'm afraid not, not for anything serious at least. The 
documentation is okay, but not great; greatly lacking examples. 
There is no built-in support for any real database engines and if 
you try to use something not built with vibe.d's fiber 
architecture in mind (even things from the standard library, like 
std.process) you're in for a world of random locks.

I don't have pretty much any experience in webdev, but I tried 
RoR, node.js and vibe.d. Let me say, the experience was not in 
the vibe.d's favour.
