I still have an issue on macOS using latest Homebrew version of 
dmd and dub.

It seems like it builds with one deprecation warning, but fails 
to run.

I fetched into an empty directory then run. All build and error 
message are in the link below:

It looks like SLD2 is missing, so I installed it via Homebrew and 
tried again. This time it runs but displays a window full of 
micro sized text and icons. It is barely readable. The link below 
leads to a screenshot showing the dlangide window and Dlang.org 
open in Safari for comparison.

Not trying to slam dlangide (in fact it looks promising), but 
these kind of issues, when following the instructions given, show 
how incomplete or untested instructions can lead new users to 
have a frustrating first experience with D.
