Thought number one after reading "This is why I absolutely hate programming for Windows!" :) Was pretty happy with vim, grep, gdb and makefiles on Linux. Anyway, key problem (as far as I can see) here is that few of D developers have both experience and personal interest in any IDE/Windows focus as well as related tool stack. D has some nice flavor of anarchy - both like it and consider it a problem.<br>
