Total non-sense my friend, you are overloading on piece, There 
are much more C# programmers available than D programmers. What 
any IDE needs is not to crash and be maintained. You can actually 
just make it not crash and make a good compiling script and done. 
I don't care what program others are using If it doesn't work it 
doesn't. The only thing you need to improve an IDE is the code 
available to well skilled people. D has nothing to do with that.

You are overgeneralizing, we are talking an IDE, and there you 
said it yourself, people are asking for features, you are really 
a piece of work implying that they just don't find it useful for 
their particular case. The lack of ability to give what a 
programmer needs while *being* a programmer yourself is just 
plain obvious lack of direction.
