1) Win32 and Gentoo Linux
2) gVim (yes, also in Windows)
3) A-A-P (although it is buggy on Linux, will hopefully be fixed soon by me). If a D based alternative that I like pops up, I might change.
4) Only tried WinDbg yet
5) None yet
6) svn (cvs)

Something better ?!?!?! :P

Have you tried http://cedet.sourceforge.net/  ?  Some really cool tools there.

Yes - and so far, I haven't found anything.

I would like to find a good editor/ide that I can configure just the way I like it without having to learn lisp first.
Emacs does work almost the way I like it to, but not quite and I'm too lazy to read enough to be able to fix things myself.

Yeah, I've seen it but I just haven't gotten around to setting stuff up. A lot of docs to read... ;)

One of my co-workers wrote JDE (Java Development Environment or something) for emacs and that's pretty popular. It shouldn't be too hard to modify it for D (famous last words...) I don't know much elisp either but I'll ping him to get his 2 cents.

1) WinXP and FC2, but mainly Windows
2) SciTe on Windows, gedit and vim on linux
3) basically, none. make, just sometimes
4) none
5) "dmd -gt" on Windows only (because it doesn't work on linux)

I'm not completely sure if I would be considered an expert yet...but I'm pretty competent with Java, and I've been studying the eclipse platform.
I think I'd like to help out with this as know it would help D a lot to have something equivalent to the Java tools that are in Eclipse for D. (who wouldn't like to have errors show up as you type them rather than having to wait until you compile to get them all?)
I actually have my sights set a bit higher than all that has been suggested so far, and I plan to unveil some of that within the next week or so, once I've got something to show for it.
Let's just say I'm excited about what I've started on :)

I took a peek at jde, and I must say it looks pretty cool. Maybe it's time to bite the bullet and get aquainted with elisp after all.. Having "D Development Environment" for emacs would be just wonderful.

I'd just better remember to bring a map and compass into the Jungle of Endless Parentheses... ;)

I just started using emacs for my D programming.  If you modify JDE to DDE, and release it, I will praise you forever.

5) Use the built-in profiler! Just throw the -gt switch, and recompile. Run the app as usual, and at the end, look at the output in trace.log.

Well, I use the term "Java expert" loosely here to mean anybody with more knowledge than I on the subject (which should qualify plenty enough people :-) ).  If you are "pretty competent" than you're probably a java guru :from my perspective.

It sounds like you've been busy!  If so, I'm excited to see what you've got up your sleeve.  No doubt, your submissions will be well received by the D community!

Good luck,

John R.
