Qt looks native.
For OS X, no not really. Although that might be due to the applications

Last I used OSX even Apple's own programs were fairly inconsistent with
each other.
These days, DMD/DMDFE version numbers are three parts, ex: 2.070.1.
I can get the first two via std.compiler.version_major and
std.compiler.version_minor. Is there a way to get the third part?
I know I can "dmd --help | grep DMD", but that only works for DMD. GDC's
"gdc --version" doesn't

You are right, i forgot Qt/KDE guys. KDE uses Qt for their programs and

GTK instead of Qt. Qt is more common on OS X and Windows than on linux.

Using old communication software like NNTP is one example of that.

P.S. what's with calling women "females", is it an americanism? It
sounds super weird to a British ear, we'd normally only say "female" in
a technical setting or about an animal, so it can sound a bit

I don't know about over there, but

"Woman" excludes non-adults. Non-adult, like I was when I started with code.
That's the problem with PC nitpicking, it never ends.

I dispute that. Many people, like myself, use KDE rather than GNOME or
Unity, and GTK programs are just as horrible to put up with in this
environment as they are on Windows. Even more so since

Reminds me of one I used years ago for C#: I like the approach, it's a
good one. Getopt by comparison, while very good, always seemed like a
kludge

How do I run DMD tests on Windows ? I'm not able to, even with gmake.
Unless things have changed since I last looked, DMD's Windows makefiles
are written for Digital Mars Make, not gmake. The gmake makefiles are
for Posix. And don't forget

Personally, though, I find a bunch of comma-separated values very
unhelpful. It would be much better if they were labelled, e.g., if:
