It really depends on what you are doing, not everyone needs are 
going to met with one UI. I don't think a UI should be included 
with DMD, there's a reason very few languages do it. Especially 
ones that compile to machine code.

That wouldn't be a plus for everyone. People expect their 
programs to behave a certain way
  for their platform. Not having the look and feel of their 
platform is enough for people to not like using it.

It's a 8 mb download, there's really no reason to preinstall or 
include it into the standard.
