Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Manu's point with regards with<br>
IDE "official endorsement" was<br>
more to try to have the D language organization devs (Walter, Andrei,<br>
etc.) *use* VisualD or another<br>
IDE and understand the issues around it (especially with regards to<br>
compiler/debugger integration).<br>

<br>
If that's the definition of official endorsement, then sorry, not likely<br>
to ever happen. Demanding that the core devs develop with specific<br>
tools is ridiculous in concept. Would you switch because someone told<br>
you to? Me either. I've been using vi(m) for about 20 years now. My<br>
fingers know what to do without conscious control.. I don't have the<br>
free time nor the desire to retrain myself like that.<br>

I agree, I don't think it's a realistic to expect that. I was just<br>
pointing out Manu's idea, not agreeing with it.<br>

Clarification: I think it's unrealistic to expected the core devs to use the IDE for all of their D development, yes. But it would be good to have them *try* it, to see how it works, to understand how others users would develop in D, what quality issues there could be with it, etc. In this regard I agree with Manu's comments.</blockquote>
