Code::Blocks, while being a C/C++ IDE that kinda thinks that DMD/GDC
are some weird "compilers", does have most of the basic IDE features.
It does allow you to create projects and edit code, and it allows you
to build with DMD or GDC and run and debug them with for instance GDB.

So shouldn't it be listed among the D IDE's ? Theoretically it even
has a GUI builder with wxSmith and wxD, although no template just yet.
(the builder writes xml-based "XRC" files, which can be loaded by wx)
And it's also cross-platform and free software, which is rather rare.

I added Xcode to the IDE list, since it does have lexing and completion.
http://michelf.com/projects/d-for-xcode/ (does require Mac OS X though)

On Windowz, I really like using Programmer's Notepad, which is based on Scite: http://www.pnotepad.org/

It would be nice to use something comparable in Linux without having to use Wine.... Anyone have any good recommendations?

How about DCode?
http://www.dprogramming.com/dcode.php

I use it, and it works well.

I think Kate might be the closest. I haven't used it or Programmer's Notepad (always prefer vim).

DCode seems to be the only editor that correctly supports multiline and WYSIWYG string literals. I wish it also supported D2's delimited strings.

Xcode seems to clearly belong in the IDE category, but dunno about Code::Blocks, I don't know it that well. It depends in the level of integration, and for your description of it, it seems to be about in the middle. It could be placed in the IDE category, with a note saying it has few D-specific features. Well, let those who use Code::Blocks say what they think is more appropriate. :P

What about "how about DCode"? :7
(It's listed there, under editor with good support, so what's the issue?)

To me CodeBlocks seems more like an editor than an IDE. (I was using it on Linux.)  For C++ it was an IDE, but for D ... well, I've switched to Kate, as being a better editor.
