It's only as abandoned as this community abandons it. If people start updating it and fixing things when they see it instead, then it will not be abandoned.

Contributing to D wiki
So I'm looking to make changes to the D wiki but I'm not sure who to talk to about such changes. Currently: Move all other IDEs low-quality down (maybe to Others) and focus on just the few that really works (IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio). Instead of many options that don't work, why not focus on they few that works?
