I *seriously* doubt GDC's Windows support is better than LDC's. 
;) And comparing GDC/LDC to DMD is comparing apples to oranges 
due to the immense difference in backend/optimizer complexity and 
supported architectures.

The only missing biggie in LLVM for Windows right now is .pdb 
support (debuginfos), which is under active development. Apart 
from that, LLVM's Windows support is close to ideal, fitting 
nicely into the native MSVC toolchain (true for both clang and 
LDC).

I'd also argue that LDC can also generate faster code than GDC 
for some inputs. ;) I'd expect their performance to be more or 
less on par on average.
