Is there any reason to believe Walter would accept that? It's come up countless times. He rejects it in principle. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/8347 He genuinely believes OMF+OPTLINK should be the deliberate and preferred default that everyone should be confronted with as their first experience. It clearly improves new users experience with D. Has something changed? |

Yes. We're adding support (experimental) for LLD (LLVM linker) with MinGW import libraries and VC2010 as of 2.079.
Which gives out of the box support for PE-COFF. Long term this should mean we can drop OMF altogether. But like 64bit support took, it'll be a while before its ready to go primary.
