It just needs more eyes - people willing to submit even small PRs

I am fine with Vim and the amazing part about D is that you don't 
need a sophisticated IDE that handles the boiler-plate code, 
because Walter et.al. have done a great job of removing the 
boiler-plate code in the first place!

We should start to teach people that ala #dlanglovesanyeditor

Adam regularly features them in "This week in D"

Afaik he lost some of his input sources - we should just feed him 
with more info or tutorials!

I agree that they dfmt and dscanner should be be included in the 
installer and distributed to all platforms, see e.g.
