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,
Must not be worse than Notepad. <g>
I don't have any requirements. I *only* care about stability at
this point.
I'm not personally looking for an IDE. I'm more a command line
guy.
D has fifty people contributing to the compiler, but only two or
three working on IDEs. We need a couple more.
And that's really all I'm saying.
