Please drive discussions on the social channels, they help D a lot.
I really don't understand the problem with IDE. He mentions that he's
not interested in any autocompletion, refactoring or anything like
that.
Actually not. I'm just opposed to any work on them right now. The
point is that all of those things are COMPLETELY WORTHLESS if the IDE
crashes. It's not just "a bug". It's an absolute showstopper, and I'm
begging the community to do something about it.
Fix the crashes, and then we can talk.
I use Notepad++ now and have used TextPad in the past. But, those are
just text editors with syntax highlighting (fairly flexibly and simply
customisable highlighting BTW).
What are the basic features you would require of a development
environment, I am thinking of features which go beyond the basic
concept of a text editor, such as:
- The concept of a 'project' or some other collection of source files
which can be loaded/displayed in some fashion to make it easier to
find/select/edit individual files
- The ability to hook in 'tools' to key presses like "compile"
executing "dmd ..." or similar.

How about a GUI front end to vibe-d's dub?
I use that extensively on command line and find it very good, I imagine
it would be easy enough write a GUI for it...
Or, a plugin for an existing editor.
Or, a 'tool' configured in an existing editor to run dub in a certain way.
All good ideas.
What I'm driving at here is trying to find Don's minimal requirements
beyond stability, in other words trying to define the goal posts to work
towards.
