While I can understand why you have come to your conclusion, you're wrong. DFL and DWT both work with Phobos and DWT recently works with D2. Also you don't need the dm.zip for D1, it was purely a packaging thing which is fixed on both versions. Otherwise great job. The troubles you've hit are not uncommon and most people here just work with the command line.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey I might give a new go at DFL then. I like Entice the designer support.
Well I could give a go at DWT as well, so I could make my own inform 
opinion!

My initial conclusion my have been skewed by the fact that I had a hard time 
just compiling the damn thing! :)

Will have a look this week, thanks for the correction.
Much worthy feedback if I can use the designer in the end! :)

Actually I should mention two things, one is that you'll need DFL from: https://github.com/Rayerd/dfl and the other is that it won't compile with dmd 2.053 (or it didn't compile in the beta's and I don't think the repo has been updated yet.) I'll look at submitting a pull request on that, but I also have some other things.

Damn, I liked the idea to use the latest DMD!

Well this week I'll do more D & GUI experiment. Now that I "can compile" i 
might be more productive! :)

At any rate DGui look quite nice too! Except for the lack of designer 
support that is...

It was just a miss-placed line. A const variable was used before it was declared. There's a solution in the DFL forums. Compiles and runs fine on 2.053 with the fix.
