First, you are to be saluted (luimarco style*) for your effor on 
DlangIDE and DlangUI

And I wish you continued growth and success

But if you may accept some advice from me, I think, re branding 
the  DlangIDE
to something more generic and adding C support specifically and 
allowing to add support for other languages is the right thing to 
do


IDEs take years to mature, you need to be more inclusive, only 
supporting D isnt very inclusive
Most people program in more than one language, and like to use 
one toolset/ide
C specifically, because there is a large C community out there 
that is under served, most C programmer use advanced text editors 
Vim/Emacs/SlickEdit

In other word, you need to be more inclusive and inviting, IDEs 
are big and the D community is small

A re-branding (Call it Dice IDE, for example)
Pluggin support
And a solid C plugin are my recommendations
