Debugging needs a lot of improvements to became usable.
Project is easy to contribute for D developers since written in
D.
Other good canditate is BBasile's CoEdit. It's very much like
DLangIDE in that it has roughly the same feature set, at least
according to readme. It is also very actively maintained like
your project. But it has the disadvantage of being written in
Pascal.
I agree with that size thing, the whole DUB package is 40MB with
release build. And without the DUB cache even of that sinks to
one-third. Under a percent compared to 1.5GB I measured Visual
Studio to take!
