Unsatisfied that D2 changed (too) much or with bugs and development in
general?
To me, it looks very early to fork D2...
I think the blog mentions forking D1 and adding certain useful features
from D2.
Forking D1 might be the only way to add new features to it. I think many
yearn for some of the useful, stable features of D2, but aren't willing to
put up with the not-yet-cooked features of D2. You don't have a choice at
the moment, if you want D2 features, you must use D2, and the only
up-to-date implementation of it -- dmd. On top of that, phobos is a long
way from being finished, but it is progressing rapidly, there are many
good developers working on it (as opposed to DMD which has 3).
I personally do not share that pessimistic view, and I don't think I'll
ever go back to D1 anyways, since the D1 phobos library is pretty
underpowered. D2/phobos2 will get there, perhaps in a year or so.
