Finally and possibly most importantly, basically not having

Maybe it is because I write 100% bug free code the first time
every time ( :-) ) but I've found the gdb support, at least on
Linux, to be really pretty good.
You don't mean it, do you ? :-D
I compile with -gc -debug - the "pretend to be C" option is
something I started doing years ago and might not be necessary
anymore, but I've found it to be plenty good enough anyway.
D's bias toward Windows doesn't help either.
If anything, I don't think D goes far enough in its Windows
support. It works well there, sure, even the optlink things
others complain about don't bother me, but there's a lot of
stuff it could easily do and doesn't, at least not without
grabbing additional downloads.
On Linux, dmd works quite excellently, as do gdc and ldc.
I wish we could say the same for them running on Windows...
