no working/incomplete windows headers for 32 and 64 bit.
no gui or db lib and tons of abandoned libs and proggies that you
mentioned.
if your are on linux like most of the lieutenants and the vice-general
you may be fine.
YES IT IS!
I've been using D on Windows just fine for years and so have several
others. The Windows API binding works just fine if you need the Win32
API, either Andrej Mitrovic's version at github[1] or the original at
DSource[2]. There are a growing number of tools and GUI libraries
available, too. Just because the compiler doesn't ship with everything
in one nice package, and just because the Windows ecosystem doesn't have
a plethora of tools that you can count on being available like on Linux,
does not mean DMD development favors Linux.
