I find these kinds of comments rather humorous, actually. Every once in
a while, somebody would barge into the forum and decry the current state
of things, bemoaning that D is too Linux-centric and that Windows gets
no love.

Then some time later, somebody else barges in, complaining about why he
failed to install D on his Linux box and that the D developers must
therefore be Windows people and D needs more Linux love.

I've seen both types of complaints. So which is it? Is D Windows-centric
or Linux-centric? Maybe the answer is neither, it's the PBCAK problem.
