My comment was about the limited resources of this community. If 
there are false statements about VS 2015 support, then they 
should be corrected. And if you feel that VS 2015 support is a 
must, then it is entirely reasonable to not use D.

I was responding to what I felt was a harsh response by Tofu 
Ninja. IMO it is not realistic to think that any developer can 
sit down and use his preferred setup without any rough edges. It 
comes with writing D code. Others have told you that the problem 
is being fixed, told you how you can still use VS, and I don't 
see what more they should have done.
