2.Nc3 and 2.Bg5 are of course good moves, although I did have a good enough score against them when I played the Dutch (but then I did take them as seriously as the main lines, which maybe some Dutch players neglect).
As to the thread's title looking at 2007-2008, I see Beim, Malaniuk, Gurevich, Korchnoi, Ivanchuk, Radjabov, Kamsky, Bacrot, Vallejo Pons, Kasimdzhanov, Nikolic, Onischuk, Krasenkov, Nakamura, Zhang Zhong, Moiseenko, Nijboer, Shabalov, Bauer, Spraggett, Graf ...
Admittedly some were blitz games, but they were blitz games that counted. I'm not sure there were that many books, particularly not published in 2007-2008.
