I don't see why not. Both Microsoft and Apple ship an IDE with
their SDK's.
The SDKs ship with Visual Studio, not the other way around. Both
the Windows SDK and .NET Framework/SDK are separate products. The
.NET Framework itself includes the .NET compiler, which Visual
Studio uses, and the Windows SDK includes cl.exe which is the
C/C++ compiler. Neither require Visual Studio.
It's good to have a single installer that includes everything you
need to get started (dmd, dub, IDE / IDE plugin) like Visual
Studio is (cl/csc, Nuget, VS), but the compiler itself should
definitely not ship with an IDE.
