Just got the idea whether it would make sense to ask the people at JetBrains whether they would make a plugin for D. IntelliJ IDEA seems to me to be the IDE with must support for other languages than Java. The Scala and Groovy plugin to me are the best ones compared to NetBeans and eclipse.
I'm using this IDE - besides from scala - for lua (and PHPStorm in work).

Basing on their quality i would be guessing it's fast/easy to write good addons for IntelliJ IDEA.

If someone is not aware of that yet - they released free version on Apache License ( http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/free_java_ide.html). It's possible to make your own plugins for different languages just as LUA and SCALA community did.

If i had knowledge i would make one for D, but unfortunately i haven't (and not enough time to learn). So, summing up - i think that's a great post and if someone wants to make another IDE for D i would recommend going this way.

Ps. I don't think it's a good idea to contact jetbrains about that. The only realistic way is to make it by D community itself.
