I had some suggestions for visual D for visual studio 2019

1. make "Show expansion when" select "+ writing an identifier" 
the default setting

2. color code things, make only relevant descriptions visible and 
allow filtering of types.
here is a comparison of the differences (top C#, bottom D).

3. allow optional C# icons
see above images.

4. gui based package manager for dub modules.
this would be similar to nuget package manager.

5. change project and .d file icons to something more fitting for 
visual studio

6. remove legacy d projects and encourage the use of d/c++ 
projects..

7. separate and create more project types...
static  library,
dynamic library,
winform app (with designer),
console app

the winforms app could probably be replaced with some sort of 
native looking cross platform alternative. just make sure to make 
a designer eventually. :P
