I would play with it for sure.

I'd be interested as well...

It's easy. Once you have the Eclipse (3.7 is safe to use), you go Help/Install New Software, and in the first field you add a new update site: http://ddt.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/git.updates/

Click the DDT project and OK.
Don't forget to specify the DMD/GDC executable package
(Window/Preferences/DDT/Compilers). On Windows, with DMD you have to give
the path:
 <path-to-dmd-installation>\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd.exe

And it is ready to work! (The compiler doesn't come in bundle so you need to have DMD installed on your box, which you most likely have already).

I would like to persuade you to have a closer look on the DDT project. It is cross-platform, and though Eclipse is slow because of Java, it has everything what a programmer needs. There's a big need for people improving the DDT project. VisualD is so far the most well equipped IDE, but it is also a sort of dead-end in cross-platform sense because the underlying IDE can not be ported to linux/mac.

QtCreator also a good choice (especially if I can get the QtD building on
Linux box :) ).

I am developing the Mono-D addin for MonoDevelop. Thanks nazriel for mentioning Mono-D ;)!
The development is quite interesting but time intensive. Code completion for most syntax cases and many other things are there already - the plugin code is kept in C#, so if you're interested - come on join me developing a very promising project :)

https://github.com/aBothe/Mono-d
https://github.com/aBothe/D_Parser

Oh and there's a very small IDE called D-IDE that I'm developing, too - it's based on SharpDevelop components and is extended more and more. It contains the same code completion capabilities as Mono-D does due to a shared Parser library base + couple of debugging features.

http://d-ide.sourceforge.net
https://github.com/aBothe/D-IDE

What about Sublime Text? That is a really awesome editor with the ability to write plug-in functionality.

CodeBlocks already supports D, I like that as its free in cost and open source.

I dont think QT Creator is a good idea because Nokia fired the entire QT staff and recently sold QT to a small statup company. So QT's future is still unsure.

The problem is that the IDE I need has to support both D and CMake. QtCreator has good CMake support and debugging facilities and some basic syntax highlighting. So I'm thinking of creating a plugin for some more editing features.

MonoDevelop doesn't support CMake, does it? I would switch to it when it would.

CMake? So the classical makefile support? No, but I guess that it was no problem to implement this feature. Besides, why should it support this whereas Mono-D itself delivers a relatively stable build system already?

I believe in CMake as the only cross-platform build system that supports easy use of external libraries. There are many scripts out there to find specific libraries to automatically include and link them.

Many well-known applications and libraries use CMake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMake#Notable_applications

I would really appreciate if any D plugin for any IDE would support CMake. And QtCreator already supports CMake so it is my IDE of choice right now.

Please, look at http://www.dsource.org/projects/poseidon/

maybe you would interesting in continue of developing this IDE...
