For me, I get a breath of fresh air whenever I get to not write
"()". I can't figure how some are missing it.
Every time I call a parameterless function in D, I curse under my
breath at how incredibly sloppy it is. Great, just what I need: Yet
another thing that forces me to make the completely unnecessary
choice between using something inconsistently or making up and
sticking to a completely arbitrary convention that can't be
enforced. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Especially considering it's all
for the sake of a "feature" that doesn't accomplish a damn thing,
doesn't solve any problem, not even a trivial one, doesn't do
anything but clutter the language.
My thoughts exactly.

Maybe we should vote on this too. BTW, seems like the last poll wasn't
quite the expected landslide against the dictature :o).

I believe that poll question was badly formulated.
I believe the same, but I also believe that in all likelihood the poor
formulation didn't influence the vote by a lot: the question was only
visible to participants in that thread so there's no risk that people
lacking the background discussion would come and vote in confusion.
