If it gives finer grain as well as better sharpness than D76, then
it must be good.

My sentiments toward pyro as well. Not worth messing with, unless one is
part of the more-exotic-than-thou brigade.

I am new to the darkroom and my questions concerning pyro are
genuine. I had read on various sites about pyro developers including
WD2D, PMK and Pyrocat-HD. If these developers offer no advantage over
standards like D76, ID11 or XTol, then I will choose one of those
instead.
Please help me to learn, rather than post replies that come across as
being sarcastic. I really do want to try to understand what is good
darkroom practice, such as choosing the right processes and
materials. I have many questions that I want to post here on
photobanter.
I was being sarcastic, but I do take your concerns seriously. My serious answer to your queries about pyro developers is really "don't bother". It's not worth the hassle. You can get wonderful results using any of an array of readily-available conventional developers. So unless you insist on doing something peculiar, boutique-y and idiosyncratic, stick with D-76/ID-11, Microdol-X, Xtol, etc.
By the way, just curious: what's with the strange quoting style you used (putting previously-quoted material in ALL CAPS, with non-functional "tags", like [/COLOR])? That in itself is kinda like using pyro. I'm just saying ...
