I strongly disagree about deletion and banning. The moment you

detailing real frustrations that they had, albeit in a shrill
manner, feedback that doesn't hurt.
As for their posts affecting corporate perception, better they
see the truth now and know what they're getting into, rather
than the companies coming in here and ranting later, only to
get their posts deleted too! :D
Couldn't have said it better.
Though I just filed [Add some Hackernews-like ranking and
upvoting](https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed/issues/84) because
relevance and not wasting people's time matters.
Finally, my point was that since D is not at the stage where it
has corporate support to polish it up to the sheen you want,
perhaps it's better to keep away the kind of users who want
that level of integration. That's not to say they're "less,"
but that D is not ready for them yet.
We all hope D gets there someday, but maybe it's not yet ready
to make that leap.
You have quite a good point there, that said the Windows
experience is fairly bad, no point about it. That's mostly
because VisualStudio integration is required, be it for their
linker and libc only, and that isn't too well done.
