--- Comment #1 from Rainer Schuetze <r.sagitario at gmx.de> ---
Sorry, I didn't look at the bug list for a while. You might want to assign
visuald reports directly to me so I get notified.

I agree, the msbuild based projects look much better, but unfortunately, the
custom projects still have some advantages, also found in your other reports:

- add imports from project dependencies
- demangling support
- some special handling for error messages
- integration with compiler generated JSON
- better handling of link dependencies

I'm on the fence whether we should make the msbuild version the recommended
project type before solving these issues.

I've changed the icon to look more like the C++ projects. Do you have
suggestions for better wording?

I guess templates for DLL and static libs should be added, too. More involved
stuff would be nice, but needs external dependencies, e.g. vibe.d or UI
libraries.
