My impression so far is that most of the D users love to program 
in a tiny editor without the features which modern IDE's gives 
you. That's impressive, but outdated and even a bit silly if the 
project is bigger. In any company I've been so far we've used 
IDE's, because their feature-set and tools take so much work away 
from you - I don't want to miss them anymore. Nowadays, the 
majority of programmers who are willing to try new/others 
programming languages, think so too. I'm somewhat sure that this 
unneccessary hurdle is one of D's biggest mistakes.
