In this context, I'm talking about a lazy and convenient Windows 
user first experience with D. He doesn't know anything about dub, 
packages or about the excellent work of Vadim. It will be nice 
for him to type "import std.ui" instead to download dub, install 
it, launch command prompt, run some mysterious dub command and 
download 5 dependencies just to display a window. Even the fact 
that you must use dub to have a GUI project is not understandable 
for a first time user.

The current GUI Sample for D in Visual Studio just throws an 
exception and the code looks painfully too similar to the one I 
found in my first Windows programming book from the '90s :)
