++1 I think IDE experience I've had in VS Code in a language like 
Rust is frankly awesome and D's was quite poor and frankly enough 
to put new people off the language. Sorry but that was my 
experience. I now just use C++ syntax highlighting and the 
terminal, but it's some time since I used the D plugin so I might 
try it again.

Honestly, I think the standard library is getting better. From a 
looking to get work done perspective it's certainly much better 
than before. Improvements are of course necessary, but I wouldn't 
say that things are bad at all, but then I'm not from the DotNet 
world. I compare it to things like Julia, Nim, Rust, Chapel and 
so on, and I'd say D compares very well indeed.
