Since dmd is a command line tool anyway, why is it a usability problem

Why do you think so many people ask for IDEs? :-)
Windows people are used to Visual Studio doing everything for them. Hit
F7 to compile, F5 to run under debugger, click on lines to set

That's because cmd sucks. MS Powershell isn't much better. I have to use
mintty just to be able to have a sane environment. Linux is a very shell
oriented OS still even with Kde and Gnome. Microsoft did everything in
its power to kill off the shell for "useability" reasons.
I agree that cmd sucks.
I disagree that people use Visual Studio because cmd sucks.
At home I'm a Mac user, but at work I use Visual Studio. I've used
Eclipse, XCode, code blocks, vim+makefiles, and I can easily say that
Visual Studio is far and away the best development environment in
existence. Nothing even comes close to it.
