https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18639 Issue ID: 18639 Summary: VisualD - First 5 minutes - Improve list of project wizards, propritise MSBuild projects Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 OS: Windows Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: visuald Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com Reporter: turkeyman@gmail.com I have a colleague who just tried out D for the first time. He's a gamedev, so coming from VS, and expects a very high bar for quality. He offered me some feedback which I think it worth passing on. His first-5-minutes experience was not great, and he says he would have dismissed it and not continued investigating if not for my insistence. So, a few suggested changes: MSBuild seems to be working well. The project wizards need to promote it as the default if we think it's ready? New Project -> D -> [list is long] All the items in the list look reasonable to someone who doesn't know anything about VisualD, and it's not clear that they are distinct project types. I think most VS users will want VC++/D project, and it should probably be that there is a complete set of D MSBuild wizards, ie, windowed/console app, static lib, dll. The names need to be clearer in making a distinction between the MSBuild project, and the old VisualD custom project, and use language to promote MSBuild as the obvious choice? -- |
