I agree that the best aspect of Adam's system is Adam.

Yes, and because its lots of effort flowing into something that D
is usually very fond of: Simplicity.
I remember looking at a part of the documentation and wanting to
suggest a change of wording in a few sentences, since I felt like
they didn't convey information clear enough, but after seeing
that I would have to somehow best-guess my way through tons of
macro syntax without clear indication on where to look for
explanations of anything I bailed. Not about to spend half a day
or a day to suggest changing three sentences and be told that
they were fine as is. Sending Adam an E-Mail is something I
totally would've done though :-)
