For me, I get a breath of fresh air whenever I get to not write "()". I
can't figure how some are missing it.
Every time I call a parameterless function in D, I curse under my breath
at how incredibly sloppy it is. Great, just what I need: Yet another thing
that forces me to make the completely unnecessary choice between using
something inconsistently or making up and sticking to a completely arbitrary
convention that can't be enforced. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Especially
considering it's all for the sake of a "feature" that doesn't accomplish a
damn thing, doesn't solve any problem, not even a trivial one, doesn't do
anything but clutter the language.
My thoughts exactly.

Maybe we should vote on this too. BTW, seems like the last poll wasn't quite
the expected landslide against the dictature :o).
I was on vacation the last two days so I didn't see any of these polls
till today. But the poll I did see was like 8 to 5 in favor of a
change. It doesn't really seem like a statistically significant
sample. Seems like the "I don't care enough" vote is the vast
majority there. Assuming D has significantly more than 13 users, that
is. Or perhaps it's the "you guys have gone on about this for far too
long and and I now have no idea what this is about anymore" vote.
I've seen a vote in which more than 50 voted. Still doesn't say anything
statistically significant, but it's more than a handful.
