The thing is that a lot of people who use D don't mind the
lack of IDE support.
IDE is not just a nice interface to write code. It's a way to
organize files, AST based file browsing, github integration,
and - the most important aspect for me - is the *integrated
debugging support*. I'll never use dmd from command line and
the lack of IDE support would be definitely a stopper for me.
The same people not minding the lack of IDE support are usually
the Linux guys. Personally, I don't know any Windows developer
masochistic enough to use the command line when an IDE is
available for the task described above.
Whenever I (have to) work on a Windows machine, I use command
line + text editor (Textadept). I've written a batch file that I
call to compile the code, because there were problems due to dub
not being able to create a dll. If I don't create a dll, I use
dub. No problem. Why go through all the pain of setting up Visual
whatever, if you can sort it out easily yourself?
