Could we maybe create a quick informative survey,

and what they believe would improve their experience with the

D more seriously or professionally?
Given that there is such a wide diversity of people currently
using it, I think it would be nice for the project leadership
and all of us in the community to get a more realistic view on
this matter, to better understand what's important, chose the
future direction and what are the real selling points. Right
now it seems like there are a lot of mixed signals even among
long-time users and contributors.
Such a survey wouldn't be anywhere near "realistic." The number
and types of users who regularly keep up with the forums are
highly unlikely to be a representative sample of D users.
