Well, I can't comment on Windoze as I avoid it like the plague. 
But I'm under the impression (basically from reading here in the 
forum and looking at D related tools, IDEs, etc) that there is a 
certain bias toward Windows.

Which would be OK as most users (?) seem to work on Windoze *if* 
D marketed itself as a language for Windows.

As for linux, yes, you are right. I didn't experience any 
problems with DMD itself. Installed like a charm, worked like a 
charm.

But: I remember my first days and the conditio sine qua non that 
there are tools for linux, too. Well, there seems to ... yet, I'm 
still unable to reasonably debug. which, from what I saw/read 
seems to be a problem on the D side.
