I use Vim myself, but I think people who use IDEs would like
to, well, use IDEs.
I wasn't referring to the vim vs IDE holy debate. I often use IDE
myself but never use interal build systems tied to IDE - mostly
for portability reasons. It is good to know that your project
will always be built the same way - on local development box, in
packaging script, on headless CI box.
Semantics analysis you can get by simply opening .d file in
CDT project is very limited compared to opening dub project
because it can't know the import paths for dependencies or
pretty much anything about project structure apart from opened
file. This isn't much.
It seems you are right that it *is* limited, but it shouldn't
be. CMake emits include/import paths into the project
structure. I had thought it emitted into .project, but
evidently emits into .cproject. If DDT supported a .dproject I
could also emit, I could get it to work.
.dproject is exactly dub.json
I don't really understand the part about putting paths to
.project though - how it can possibly put something that is
language specific there?
