what? O_o
we are not talking about "native" GUI, original question is about
how much do we need an IDE(preferably written in D), i just point
that not IDE should be done first, but GUI(which provides much
more opportunities than IDE). because in my opinion(no, i'm not
UI/UX expert) we have GUI toolkit crisis, there are almost no
declarative crossplatform(i mean major OS) toolkit for writing
simple yet highly customizable UI's, with HTML markup-like,
customizable UI's without messing with
imperative(C/C++/D/whatever) code. that's how i see a "must have"
GUI lib, not all that gtk/qt/swing crap, we should program
algorithms, not ui widgets!
(i repeat, i'm not UI/UX expert, but have some little sad
experience with existing libs(except WPF))
