I have a batch file tied to a command prompt shortcut that always sets 
the D environment when I launch it. Updating DMD is a matter of deleting 
the old directory and unzipping the zip file. Editing is a matter of 
launching Sublime Text 2. Compiling is alt-tabbing to the command prompt 
and typing "dub build". It's a painless process and I never have any 
trouble. Of course, I don't try to use the MS tools, or build DMD 
myself. That way lies pain.
