Hi all.

You can treat this topic as a poll. I think this can help begginers to choose
convenient tools to use D and advanced programmers to try something new and
compare with already used tools. So, the question is: what tools and
applications do you use for D programming:
1) Platform
2) Editor
3) Build system
4) Debugger
5) Profiler
6) Others

As for me, my replies are:
1) Win32
2) Programmers notepad 2 (www.pnotepad.org) - simple opensource editor with
native D syntax highlight support and ability to call external tools like
builder
3) SCons (www.scons.org)
4) None. I use printf where I need, 'cause I couldn't force any debugger to work
with D
5) None. See (4) :)

Lots of GNU tools. (diff, patch, bash, wget, etc)

BTW, PN2(2.5.34) does not seem to support D natively.  I had to write a customized scheme for D.

1) WinXP and Gentoo Linux
2) Scite (windows), Eclipse (windows), Scite (Linux), Kate (Linux), experimenting with gvim (Linux)
3) dmd/gcc 3.4.3 (linking), experimenting with "dmake" and "build" on Linux
4) sometimes gdb (Linux), periodically Valgrind (Linux)
5) none
6) Eclipse D plugin was quite "fun" and practical to use but too buggy for my purposes, so I gave up on it (both Windows and Linux); I have tried Scons for building - I am mildly impressed, but I'd rather have a tool that doesn't rely on a full Python installation, is d specific, and is standalone (ie, dmake or build).

Later,

Hm.. I've download the same version but it does :)

3) SCons, at least until something D-particular comes along
4) none
5) none

I tried to use eclipse. It's great platform as it, but eclipseD - not. About a week I discovered structure of CDT plugin (for C/C++ development) with aim to remake it for D. But because I don't know Java language higher then read-only, the attempt was of course failed :). If somebody might to refactor CDT in DDT it would be so great - editor, outline, build, debug (gdb based) in one place for win32 and linux simultaneously plus count of external useful plugins. But alas it just a dream for nearest year or two, ehhh... pity.
