FWIW, I'd like to thank you for taking the time (and putting up
with some undeserved abuse for it) to write about your experience
in trying to get other people to adopt D. For some they might be
known issues, but the fact is these things matter, and knowing
about them is part of fixing them.
Alas, I abandoned doing development on Windows ages ago, so it's
not something I can help with. I don't rely on debuggers myself,
but I do use them when it makes sense to me and it's annoying
enough when gdb can't print things properly even with Iain's
patched version.
As for the documentation, like others I don't mind it or have any
problems with it, but that's not the point here. The point is
that potential new users did, and so it needs to be improved.
Your problems are not issues I have or had; but others did and as
much as like my Arch Linux some will prefer Windows and the
experience has to be good for them as well.

Sorry, there were 3 guys in particular who were ripping into me
for
whatever reason. Sorry for the blanket statement, it was
directed at
them. I don't really feel I need to be ripped apart for trying
to
encourage D use in the office, and then reporting on our
experience.
You were personally supportive, so to yourself (and others),
thanks.
