Surely not only for games and some others, I is really a very useful  
feature of MSVC debugging, which will save lots of precious time once one  
starts using it. I can attest to that. Another useful feature is the ease  
in which one might adjust the instruction pointer. I'm using those two  
quite often in concert, which is really a time(and ass)saver.

For D to gain more traction (at least on the windows platforms) it has to  
have these kind of features.
So I'm really happy to see what is happening twith visual-D!

Well you could give this a try: http://windows.kde.org/

Although I'm a long time FreeBSD/Linux and KDE user (my primairy OS's) I  
have to agree. There is a reason for the rise of Apple products. Most  
heard non techies comment: "It just works".
