How many people / projects are using Tango at this time?

I am considering switching over to tango instead of phobos due to 
missing features, but mainly I think because of bugs that don't seem to 
get fixed.

I had a look round for a "poll" on my question but couldn't really see 
one. It seems to me that most people are using tango now though, for any 
amount of 'serious' work.

I use Tango, and have used it to develop utilities for my company.  I 
tried using Phobos for about a week, but found the lack of support for 
socket and process I/O didn't fit my needs.  I'm sure it's improved since 
then (about 2 years ago), but it would be impossible for me to switch 
back now :)

I contribute regularly to Tango, and I enjoy that aspect of it.  I also 
find the developers more accessible and focused on practical matters 
versus not-yet-proven radical language features.  I'm not saying this in 
a negative way -- I think the steps Walter and Andrei are taking towards 
making D2 suitable for future needs are worth while -- but when one has 
to get work done, one needs to use something that works now :)

im currently at 80% of development for commercial Web scale Search Engine
(algorithm based) with full integrated indexer and crawler. at first i was
using phobos then lack of features slowdown the dev so i switch to tango and
speed up 50% of dev time. expect to launch it in 1-2 months. Tango net codes
really helps.

All my code uses Tango. I want to use d2, but I find phobos too 
difficult to work with. Phobos for d2 has some neat concepts, but I 
don't want to learn a new way of working; I want code that can remain 
somewhat portable between phobos and tango.

Without looking too hard, it started to look like metaprogramming was 
decently supported in phobos, but for more typical needs, tango was 
superior.
