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.
