Maybe it was too complex?

There are few reasons. The main one is that linking bugs caused by a compiler mangling/generation bugs makes std.complex unusable for us. Initially I have updated all packages with std.complex, however it failed to link in a private project.

Yes, it was hard to make std.complex works.

Why wasn't fixing the linking bugs considered an alternative to forking std.complex?

What are the other remaining reasons for not using std.complex?

It doesn't look like any bug reports were filed. Hopefully that can happen...
