Do *you know what progress is?

Author say's it's been a slow week, but you can watch these to
get a better feel for the pace of D.
Seriously, do you believe that just because Qt, Xcode, VS, etc
do not have such features that such features are useless or
simply not possible?
Maybe you should ask "If none of these large well funded
companies have set out to create such features, should it really
be expected of a free open source project like D?"
So, although I don't speak for the D community, I suspect that
things are the same as in any open source/free project: "Step Up
or Shut Up".
At the last DConf though, I remember it being said that what the
D language really needs is corporate backing/funding. Until that
happens, I would think it foolhardy to expect any large scale
changes in how things work here..
