I have been using D 1.0 for about 6 months for small projects and, although I like
the language, I am frustrated by the lack of tools such as an IDE or forms editor. I guess I have been spoilt by programs such as Visual Studio, etc.
I think D should look at freepascal / Lazarus for inspiration as to an IDE / forms
editor package that provides multi-OS development and support.
With the right tools that make the job easier many more people will climb onboard
the D ship.
Just my 2p worth :-)
Regards, Mike.

Posted in reply to Robert Fraser | Yes, I know of the available IDE and Forms Editor tools - I have been using them. My point was level of functionality - it would be worth your while downloading freepascal / lazarus (open source) for a test drive just to see what level of functionality would probably be required to drag people away from their Visual Studios. I'm impressed by lazarus (being an old Delphi / Pascal coder) and to have the same IDE facilities for D would rack up the points in the compiler league.
