I don't understand why you say GDC is awful, it's simply D GCC 
frontend and behaves as one would expect from GCC.

GDC (like all GCC frontends) also has a great professional manual 
where it explains everything there is to know about the compiler, 
far superior to any other D compiler where the documentation I do 
not consider excellent.

What are your problems with GDC?

It's literally on the dlang download web page, 
https://dlang.org/download.html.
I would say that it is certainly to be considered among the 
officially recommended compilers

I doubt the D team expects anything from people
