0. Since over a year ago, I mostly do freelancing with it, so 
just me really.

1. Diamond -- https://github.com/diamondmvc/diamond

2. Would have done nothing different.

3. Every project I do using D, I pretty much use D only, so all 
tasks necessary; big or small.

4. mysql-native, vibe.d and diamond.

5. I don't host any projects myself.

6. None so far, except for webservices like SOAP. (Although I'm 
planning on implementing that for Diamond -- Don't know when 
however.)

7. Depends on the task.
