The problem is not not caring. For one, I'd love a D IDE as much as the 
next guy, but I don't have the resources to put into writing one. IDEs 
come with language acceptance and are seldom written by the creator of 
the language.

By the way, we must be doing something right. As of ten days ago there 
were 30,800 page views for The Case for D, and I just noticed that in 
the past week the presale rate for The D Programming Language has doubled.
