Thought number one after reading "This is why I absolutely hate
programming for Windows!" :) Was pretty happy with vim, grep, gdb and
makefiles on Linux. Anyway, key problem (as far as I can see) here is
that few of D developers have both experience and personal interest in
any IDE/Windows focus as well as related tool stack. D has some nice
flavor of anarchy - both like it and consider it a problem.
I have a batch file tied to a command prompt shortcut that always sets
the D environment when I launch it. Updating DMD is a matter of deleting
the old directory and unzipping the zip file. Editing is a matter of
launching Sublime Text 2. Compiling is alt-tabbing to the command prompt
and typing "dub build". It's a painless process and I never have any
trouble. Of course, I don't try to use the MS tools, or build DMD
myself. That way lies pain.
