the IDE has got to be the benchmark for all IDE's.

It can be slow and resource hungry but the functionality is amazing. Life as a
programmer is so much easier with VisualStudio. Unless you can compete with
the functionality in VisualStudio then however good the language is you will
never get the mainstream away from MS.

I want a good 'D' based IDE that can compete with VisualStudio.

My vision of this is, to increase the scope of DWT2 to be able to
include the eclipse workbench stuff and create a D port of Descent.
Perhaps you want to help? :)

Actually it would mean compiling Eclipse with dmd, since most of DWT2 is 
the same as SWT. Of course it is never that easy.
