Visual D, a mighty attempt to bring some sanity to D in windows, is

over an order of magnitude more time trying to fix D bugs than I do in
.NET. Unfortunately this makes it infeasible to continue to use D.
For example, I build a ~10k line app in under a week in .NET, with gui
and everything. In D I'm still working on getting the libraries build.
Even with all the power D has, what good is it if you can't get off
the starting line. Some will write this off making some assumption, So
be it.
.NET is a bliss to work in, D is drudgery. If only MS would build a D
compiler similar to what it has done with C#. No offense to all those
who have worked hard on D, someone has to do it. For me, .NET is like
heaven, D is like hell: It's almost exclusively due to the error
messages and IDE.
I know what he means about visual D, it can be quite difficult to work
with and doesn't seem very polished. That being said xamarin studio with
the mono-D plugin is just opposite, or at least in my own experience and
it supports both windows and *NIX.

I do enjoy Mono-D use it to stream and all!
