You make it sound like the Tango devs are just being stubborn. But AIUI, it *is* Tango's plan to port to D2 as soon as D2 stabalizes (a lesson learned from the prior efforts that you mentioned), which Walter/Andrei have been promising will be in a few months around the time of the book's release. And I've seen some of them around here, like Lars and Sean. I suppose I haven't seen Kris unless he goes by a different name here. But then there's Jasha's who's just plain been busy, so that's understandable with him. (I forget offhand who else is a regular tango guy, I'm terrible with names anyway...) From what I can tell, I don't see much evidence to suggest that the Tango guys are avoiding the ng.
