Actually, it's the very opposite...I'm strongly arguing 'for' D 
on Windows.

(otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time with this).

If you're ok with having VS, then that is not too much of pain to 
install..I get it.

But if you don't want VS, then it really is a pain. You have to 
work out what is the min required components....all by yourself - 
like i had to do. That really was a pain!

I want D on Windows (64bit included), and I want it to be a 
better experience than what I had...that's been the whole point 
of my involvement in the discussion.

In essence, I'm an advocate for D on Windows ;-)

(but to do that, without being forced to advocate for VS as 
well..is kinda challenging..it seems)

It's D I'm interested in. Not VS.
