Whether D is usable, reliable or whatever was not my argument.

My argument is more broader, and is about how an opensource 
project, like D for example, looks out for the interests of its 
users. i.e quality assurance.

1000's of bugs suggest to me, a lack of QA.

A lack of QA suggests to me, a lack of concern for the interests 
of users.

There are numerous research papers in this area, some of which I 
am in the process of reading, to gain a better understanding of 
QA in open source projects - and apparently it's a real issue of 
concern to those researching this topic.

Anyway, as I go through these research papers, I suspect that it 
is unlikely they will conclude that bugs are just a part of 
software, and that's just life.. and least.. I hope not.
