I've also found that the uninstall mechanisms in Linux/OSX to be lacking compared to Windows. Perhaps this is a function of my lack of skill with the tools, but I have no idea how to uninstall the Tango library that the installer added. I'm worried about removing the dmd (D's compiler) since it installed in the /usr/bin. Linux is better that OS X in this regard.
Sadly I'm stuck in Windows for most things, even Node development. I just haven't found a good editor for free that is like Notepad++.
Fortunately for my Java/Scala development, Eclipse works everywhere.
