What do people here use as an IDE?

That's not how I understand it. Fedora ships GCC-4.5 (not 4.4), and will shortly
switch to 4.6. That is why it won't go in fedora.

Not really. I am a packager too (I maintain gdc in Debian and Ubuntu), and so far
I've been updating the GCC versions in cadence with the Ubuntu and Debian
releases. Natty will default to GCC-4.5, while the next Debian release will be
based on 4.6, so there is no urgent need for me to port to 4.5 just yet. But
depending on how quick FE merging goes, it could be that by February/April will be
updated to the current trunk.

If anyone wants to speed up the process, you know where to get the sources and
submit patches. :~)

And what if license becomes an issue? As far as I'm aware, all authors need to
have signed copyright assignment papers to donate gdc to the gcc project. It may
turn out that parts of GDC would probably need to be rewritten using a chinese
wall strategy (ie: so anyone who has seen the source code that is so licensed
should not be allowed to work on the implementation of the replacement) if one
such author refuses to sign.

And I'd dread to think about needing to clean-up the some 25,000 lines of code
that's maintained ( and that doesn't include Phobos or the DMDFE :)
