I don't have a normal "D" programming practice--I'm new to the language.  However I make use of the interface concept regularly in OO programming.  This is affectionately known as the "Bridge Pattern" in GoF speak.  In C++ I have to resort to a pure virtual abstract class to represent the interface, but I wouldn't consider a language modern if it did not support it.

So count me as a #########  Yes, I use interfaces all the time.
