Thanks everyone for the information here.

I think my best approach is to use visual D with DMD for most of 
my development work as it seems better supported and debugger 
works better etc.

And then make *frequent* builds from command line to test with 
LDC and use that for "production". It sounds from what I read 
here that it's stable enough to use for that :)

I'll try to find a small test case that crashes the compiler in 
visual D and check out what version I'm using etc, and submit a 
bug report if I am able.
