Yes.

As to whether there are enough of those to make the work worth it for you,
hard to say. I'd say there is a hen-and-chicken situation, and companies
like yours will have to step up to resolve it. A good IDE (and complete
toolchain) will help fulfill the prophecy of the coming of D. Saying "wait
another year" will leave D dead in the water.
