It's the name of race, not of a planet. :P But yes, I agree it's a bad name. In the long run there should be a better name. But in the long run there should also be only one definite D Eclipse IDE. And ideally, it should be called DDT (even though that was the name of a previous now-defunct D Eclipse IDE), just as JDT, CDT, PDT, etc.. -- Bruno Medeiros - MSc in CS/E student http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?BrunoMedeiros#D
I fear your hopes of the one true IDE are just as misguided as hopes for one true programming language, one true OS, one true GUI library and the holy grail but good luck.The red-queen effect of competition is an important stimulus to innovation. Regards, Bruce.

By "one definite D Eclipse IDE" I meant one true Eclipse-based D IDE in the universe of all Eclipse-based D IDEs, not in the universe of all D IDEs. -- Bruno Medeiros - MSc in CS/E student http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?BrunoMedeiros#D

Ah. That makes much more sense to me now. Yes I agree. One D for eclipse and no forking until its forking ready. Regards, Bruce.
