Sure I agree, there is no objective measure, picking any criteria is somewhat arbitrary and biased. I don't think anyone here has even measured anything. But if such objectivity would be a requirement, we would be powerless to make any assertion whatsoever, since even picking the criteria is a biased act.

Yet it really isn't all that relevant imho. It's undeniably that Tango is important enough to D programming that it has it's place in the D programming landscape for at least, let's say a significant number of people. It's also fact that phobos is still relevant and has even picked up speed since D2.

Hopefully when D2 is getting finalized, this issue will be void and null for the better of D.

RAmen to that, brother! :)

I'd just like to note that you can download the compilers from the Tango pages too, in which case they come with Tango instead of Phobos (some downloads do have Tangobos though).
