Whether to use Visual Studio or not isn't a "design decision".
It's not relatable in the slightest bit.
It's a tool that generates a binary file.

Thank. Another qoute to add to:
'The famous quotes of Jerry the MSFT fanboy'.
Don't tell me, that the design of C# isn't heavily aligned with
MSFT corporate stratedy to ensure you're tied to a specific
version VS, .NET, and Windows.
That's why C# has moved to point releases.
Point releases require you to upgrade this, or upgrade that.
That's why we should be suspicous (at least) about design
decisions going in to C#,
The suggestion that D should look to C#, cause MSFT have done the
research, and therefore would know best about a language design
feature, as a flawed argument, and deserves to be criticised.
MSFT Corporate stratedy influences the design of C#, as much, if
not more, than language design.
