MD in Perl 6 is beyond "occasionally handy". A glance at the Perl 6 setting modules[1] revealed something like a 50/50 break down of SD vs MD.

Operators in Perl 6 are all MD, so that's likely a significant factor.

Additionally it is well designed. While the functionality starting point was CLOS, the UX has the benefit of hindsight and a decade of non-stop language evolution.
