It's not so much different compilers, I don't remember the specifics, but at the time the impression I got was that each one had a very different standard library, so it would be hard to move from one to another. Maybe that's not the case anymore, or maybe I was mistaken. In any case, thats a good analogy, and I'll try to find an excuse to take another look at D. Having gcc support does sound like it would make things easier. Thanks.
