See https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1754.
From the discussions, it seems you still don't see the value of
an installer...backing it with the idea that LDC is for
"developers". I'm a developer myself and I use installers all the
time when on Windows...there are very few people I personally
know who would go for an archive file to set it up themselves.
So not everyone is like you. The reason why I personally go for
DMD over LDC is convenience (especially when introducing D to
newbies)...even though LDC is more optimized for performance.
Unless what you guys are doing is an artificial barrier to get
others to not use it.
