These servers tend to be very efficient at front end tasks like load balancing, static file serving and cache management, standards compliance (including automatically up/down grading HTTP versions or TLS requirements), management, security (including handling horribly malformed requests) - stuff that can take megabytes of code to get right and is typically outside the scope of an application server.
That's actually the reason I would think dlang.org should use vibe. Those features are critical to the success and viability of vibe. By making dlang.org dependent on vibe, those features are much more likely to be flushed out and maintained at a high standard.
BTW ironically, a lot of people complain that D DOES use its own web technology on the website: it is mostly statically generated ddoc!
I saw some discussion on that in the forums when I was searching for info on why dlang.org doesn't use vibe. I personally like that dlang uses ddoc, but I don't know too much about the realistic pros and cons. I do like the concept though.
