My point of view, however, was that of a newbie. As such I won't
make my learning curve steeper by learning two "standard
libraries", which one to use when, etc.

There is just a single standard library. I don't know how many times I have to say this: "Tango is just another third party library".

And as long as you don't compile DStep yourself you don't even have to know it uses Tango.

- why tango? What's better there than in phobos?

In my opinion:

* Argument parsing
* XML package
* Net package (not any external dependencies)
* Zip package
* I think it has more collections
* Logging

- what's the offering? (Is it a complete replacement for phobos?)

Yes, but you can use just what you want. As I said, I'm only using the argument parsing from Tango.
