Yeah, I'd never pay $150 for an IDE in alpha status that (according to their homepage) doesn't even 
do autocompletion.

(Honestly, I'm not sure I'd pay that much money for any IDE - there are free alternatives and mostly 
a text editor with syntax highlighting is enough. At least for smaller non-professional projects - I 
guess most D projects at the moment are like that.)
