Editing the path variable is one of the most unenjoyable and

note the stupid window that appears; a single-line text box
created in 1995 (or earlier?), which barely lets you see a
single path in a line that's probably a few kb long... whenever
you touch it, you know you're likely breaking something on your
system that currently works ;) People do it if they have to; in
my current case, dev's MUST setup emscripten to build the web
frontend, and they proceed to complain about how shit the
toolchain experience is, but they are forced to use it
regardless... nobody is forced to use D. They must find
themselves actively drawn to use D.
Just a little aside tip, Windows search these days is actually
really excellent for settings like this (and programs). Windows
Key + "env" + Enter is enough to get you to the dialog.
I completely agree that you should almost never have to do this
though.
