ok I haven't followed the tango related discussions, but I had my own  
disagreements about tango that made me almost branch it (but D has  
enough branches as it is, and I am not interested in mantaining yet  
another branch).
In the end I just decided to be a tango user, and make a layer in blip  
to insulate me from a too strong dependency on tango.

Anyway for D 1 I think that tango is a good choice, actually the only  
one for 64 bit at the moment...
