Doesn't feel like that when the views of the people in charge don't align with what people are saying. I can understand people's dissatisfaction with Windows, but some people take it too far. The compiler for Windows is built using 32-bit, not only is the 64-bit version not built it's not even supported or tested. I think someone made a post a little while ago about LDC that 95% or more of downloads for their compiler were for the 64-bit version. If only one version is to be supported then it should be the 64-bit version. I can't even imagine the outrage there would be if 64-bit wasn't supported on Linux. Hell, they haven't even bothered setting up AppVeyor for dmd, free testing on Windows. Niche within a niche, can't expect much I guess.
