lurking around this board for a long time and gave up on d2
along time ago. it is to scripty. i can not convince anybody

tried it and they say it is to buggy, misses windows
essentials and there seems to be no chance of betterment via
management or the compiler enthusiasts that rather implement
any fancy fart instead of getting the compiler stable, bug
free and usable.
it seems like this is a language experiment, unusable for
serious development.
i just downloaded current beta 2 and visual D. installs ok, no
detection of visual studio or any of the associated paths.
visual D installed ok, but a click on menu options killed
visual studio.
i uninstalled successfully - hallelujah.
so i lurk around for an other year an see if D experiment is
still around and/or usable.
Both VisualD and dmd should work out of the box with MSVC and
Visual Studio. In the last year I have not seen any reports of
either failing out-right without something wrong with the users
environment making it problematic.
So please report any issues you're having. Because they are not
regular user experience.
The first five minutes of VisualD and DUB are rough!
Consecutively they shun me away a lot of the time.
I'm also lurking on the forums for all of D's promises, but it
doesn't seem productively useable outside of isolated projects
whitout tightly locked down dependencies and the ability to
maintain your own compiler and libraries.
It might be in practise, but it certainly doesn't look to be so.
