Together with the tango/phobos/dmd1/dmd2 incompatibilities I rarely ever actually compile anything from dsource.

Interesting, I didn't know that.
I also rebuild my whole project every build and love that I can program in really small increments building every few minutes or so. ( And debug/refactor by just repeatedly building/fixing )

It even kind of annoys me that builing (bud) takes something like 10 seconds on my p4.

This means I will keep using DMD as long as I can and only maybe in at the end try GDC and LDC for any performance improvement.

Cheers to you two as well :)
