Hi Binarydepth,

"lack of direction" is no problem in opensource, because 
opensource allows evolution. If something is not "useable" for 
you, you can use something else or improve it - thats up to you.

Sometimes we only want to have one useful solutions and we can't 
understand why there are somemany other more or less "unuseful" 
things. Like tausend of programming languages when all you ever 
wanted is something like D ;-).

But as soon you open your mind and think of the nature, you 
understand the beauty of evulution and the luck of having more 
then one solution.

Did you know that the critics came frome Basile the author of 
coedit, another ide made especially for the programming language 
D. (btw thanks for that Basile ) From his point of view it must 
be stupid and contra productive to build an other ide from 
scratch instead of using his solution.

One reason is to have an IDE written in D itself because that 
gives D- Programmers more freedom to improve or change things up 
to their needs. An other important thing is that dlangide uses 
other D libraries like dlangui and so help to improve that stuff 
too. So you see there is an reason and direction for dlangide.

Vadim did a great job so far, so i am sure dlangide will stay 
with us a long long time. Hopefully some day Basile will see that 
it was an good idea to create dlangide and maybe people start 
telling him they want to have features known from the dlangide in 
coedit. Maybe someday you will get your sandwich, made by some 
Robot controlled by program written in D by using the dlangide.



Kind regards keywan
