Yes. It almost sounds like a smooth experience would be a bad
thing to have, especially with the classic "you don't need an
IDE anyway" speech. Editing experience seems often dismissed
as unimportant, when it's one of the first things new users
will come across when trying out D. First impressions can
matter a lot.
I didn't give a you don't need an IDE speech, and I didn't say
a smooth experience was a bad thing.
I know, I know. But it's always the same story, whenever people
wonder about D's state in IDE integration, often other people
will just say that vim + terminal is enough.
But in my experience a strong reality orientation leads to good
things coming out of life and telling the universe it should be
something different from what it is is a recipe for misery and
suffering, and why would you do that to yourself?
So if you want the world to be different, come up with a plan.
It could be I am going to donate X dollars a month to the
Foundation to fund IDE development, or if could be figuring out
how you can help with the work in whatever way. But just
grumbling - I really think that mistakes the nature of the
situation, and not to mention human psychology. You can
accomplish things with a vision that's thought through and
inspires others. Negativity is part of being creative but not
if you stop there.
I stated it in an earlier post, I've been working on editor/IDE
integration myself because of this. I don't just grumble,
although I do like grumbling a lot :)
