To is a preposition, and like all prepositions it can take a gerund object. Disposed to using, exhausted from using, guilty of using, interested in using, talking about using, etc. They're just prepositional phrases. Why use to? Because the predicates look forward, disposed, apply, and come -- in these senses -- require the preposition to, that's why. Nothing special here, really. | |
