You always tell people to post to bugzilla, but many of these
things have been posted over and over again. Bugzilla search is
terrible, so it is frequently hard to find, but there are many
examples there.
The benefit though of watching support requests is you see what
people actually deal with day-to-day, and error messages,
especially multiple overload matches of functions and templates
and no template matches ones come up all the time. ALL THE TIME.
From new users and experienced users alike. Most won't put it in
bugzilla though: they just see it as their own personal failure
instead of a technical problem we can fix.
But any repeated support request should be seen as a user
experience problem that we try to fix. This is where we'd get the
most productivity - taking little bumps out of the road. D has no
roadblocks; we can get a lot of stuff done with it exactly the
way it is, but if you watch users actually try to use it, you'll
see the road isn't as smooth as it could and should be.
