Most developers don't have shitty internet though, the one's that 
do don't go whining about it trying to use something "better", 
where better is just a substitute for smaller package size. 
Visual Studio is probably the most reliable and stable toolchain 
on Windows, the only thing anyone (ehm you) has to say bad about 
it is it's download size. I'd say that's better damn near the 
best D can do if the only thing someone has to complain about it 
is the download size.
