Influenced by the news group discussion
"I wish I could use D for everything". The idea is to build a factual list of the delta complexity between D1 and D2. Ideas may come from D 2.0 Enhancements, but this should cover more of the significance of the enhancements.
The first place to look for precise information is the D official documentation.
Most of the following links actually send you there.
