I don't know what's going on here, somehow people are
consistently misunderstanding me.
The question in the talk was along the lines of "what's wrong
with D's IDEs". And people expected the problem was that they
don't have good refactoring support or something. But the
problem is much more severe:
Mono-D is not as good as Notepad.
EclipseD is not as good as Notepad.
Because they are unstable.
What we're not understanding is that, if you don't want
refactoring, or intellisense, or any of that stuff then why not
just use notepad, emacs, vim etc.? Surely those are stable?
That's why people were asking what you wanted from the IDE, so
that they could suggest stable editors that had those features.
If you don't want lots of features then Mono-D and EclipseD are
not good choices.
