I do most of my programming in Sublime Text, and frequently
re-install windows. This may not be the case for many windows
users of D, but clearly many windows users of D would like to
be able to compile x64 out of the box.
So your fine with reinstalling Windows, going through the entire
processing to setup and configure. Download all the new updates
and install them. Then setup your environment, downloading
potentially dozens of applications (git, debuggers, text editors,
compilers, etc..) and configuring settings? But downloading
Visual Studio is "time consuming".. I don't even. If all you can
complain about Visual Studio is its download size then I'd say
it's doing pretty good as a development tool.
