Yes, sure, but people looking for a system level language don't 
have much to choose from so IDE is not a big issue.

Comparisons to C# comes up regularly. My point is more that there 
is no way D can compete with projects that are good fit for C#. A 
the D project should be up front about that.

Ok. I didn't mean to address you specifically. Sorry if you read 
it that way.

Certainly the complaints coming from D end users is rooted in 
realties coming from the D project itself. Whether it is quality 
problems or communication problems, one just cannot blame the end 
users that express the issues they experience like several people 
in the D community does. That kind of denial is toxic.

I don't think a full IDE experience is essential, but a 
comparable debugging experience probably is.
