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.
Ok.. but that doesn't give ppl anything to aim for as a starting point..
I'm not personally looking for an IDE. I'm more a command line guy.
So you write all your code using "copy con"? :p So, you use vi?
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.
Valid point, but to get more people interested I think we need a concrete
goal and/or a list of faults with the existing competition.
