 The list at http://www.dprogramming.com/dlists/gui.php says:
 1. DFL
 2. DWT
 3. wxD




 "Lists sorted by search engine hits, or popularity."

 What is this meant to mean?

 Stewart.



 http://www.dprogramming.com/dlists/ says "lists are sorted by counting  
 hits on Google and are ranked based on usage in the D programming language  
 community. The lists are not 100% accurate, but hopefully they can be  
 reasonably accurate." - similar to the TIOBE language index.



Those lists make me very sad. According to them, Descent is a less popular IDE
than every _dead_ Eclipse-based IDE ;-{.

You have a point, I was sure the Editors lists was the least reliable. I  
just updated it:
    http://www.dprogramming.com/dlists/editor.php

Descent moved up, I noticed Poseidon had a lot of false hits so I fixed  
that, and I noticed some spammers/wordlists in the results and excluded  
them.

Thanks for your feedback. Feel free to point out more obvious mistakes.

To create a popular IDE, just name it Sex :P
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Sex+%28editor+OR+IDE%29

Seriously that list is way off. DDT is still quite ahead of Descent, 
among other irrealities. You'de have to create custom queries for each 
IDE (to remove other meanings, like TIOBE does), to have results even 
near interesting. Something like:
DDT (IDE or editor) -pesticide -Insecticide

That's not the search terms. If you include "d programming langauge" and  
weed out some spam and some other false hits, DDT is mentioned quite a lot  
(true positive hits).

I'll also note that a lot of things are tied, I should probably group them  
with the same number.
