I really feel like D needs to get over it's "not invented here"

in D want to reinvent this stuff. It's been done, just use the
already working version! Why have all this great c and c++
interop if we never use it.
I have the same gripe with how the experimental.image is doing
image loading/saving, there are plenty of already existing
image libraries that already support every image format you
could ever dream of. Just use them, they will work 1000x better
than any reinvention that we do here.

If only the effort writing "native-D" reinvented unproven,
untested wheels was spent writing quality D wrappers over
existing proven and tested libraries....
