1. It was DWT
Yep, sorry, have never realized those are different, my mistake.
2. To be far, nothing in practice was done more than saying
"DWT is the official GUI library for D" in a newsgroup post,
probably deep instead an already existing thread. No mention on
the web site, no move of the code to the same place as the core
D repositories. Not bundled with the compiler, no contribution
from the core developers, nothing. So no, of course it didn't
help.
Probbaly. But do you honestly believe including actual sources
into Phobos would have made any real difference? I doubt core
developers would work on it one way or the other - that is a huge
waste of effort. And it wouldn't fit everyone on user side either.
