I meant slightly "behind", "before" is not appropriated. i understand the misunderstanding in the following comments. I meant that for LDC being just one step behind is an asset because there's always a risk of regression in DMD. GDC is too far behind DMD is at the front LDC has most of the DMD fixes but sometimes without the regressions coming from the front.

I only ever send builds made with LDC to customers, both for freelance work and products. Why? I've found that with DMD there is a bigger chance of backend regressions. Using LDC you get to rely on a pretty rock-solid code generator. I do use DMD for all dev builds.

Re: What is the most stable D compiler
yes, speed is a second matter, so the first matter is reliability, i.e.: the less bugs compiler has, the more it is stable, which of them is the most stable one?

Which can be used in production? Why there are 3(maybe more) compilers and not just one? What exactly do you define as stable? i mean without bugs in compiler Okay well all three compilers share a frontend with all new work being done in dmd. GDC is the slowest to update currently so that can be ignored for now. LDC has fairly fast updates in terms of the frontend and can target more platforms. So the question is simply, do you care about performance or platform availability over faster bug fixes and new features? Most people develop using dmd because of the fast turn around times, but utilize ldc IF they need performance in the end program. But in most cases you don't need to worry about performance or platform support so dmd wins out.
