I use that, too.  When I need to debug, I use cv2pdb to create a .pdb file, and then just do "vcexpress myapp.exe".  If get some time to work on my D projects again, I might look into VisualD.  But it seems that D is cursed when it comes to IDEs.  Nothing I've tried so far has been worth the trouble.

win32 -> VisualD
linux -> CodeBlocks

I've spent so much time on games, web and embedded that I've gotten used to printf-debugging, and when I do use a debugger I often find it to slow me down. Nothing against debuggers, they can be nice, but printf-debugging has the advantages of lower startup time, lower barrier-to-entry, and best of all, being much better at stepping backwards in time (all you have to do is look/scroll upwards).

If it's support for contextual symbols (like code completion, etc) you're looking for, the d2tags tool someone made awhile ago makes it possible for PN2 to gain such support for D. It hasn't happened yet, but it looks like it's coming (they've set it to "High" priority and set a milestone for it):

FWIW, Notepad++ has got an out-of-box D syntax highlighting support, too, recently (both Notepad++ and PN2 are based on Scintilla).

I mostly use Notepad++ (Windows) for code editing (and Code::Blocks on occasion).

I use Visual D and JEdit.

My "IDE" is rather ad-hoc:  I use Terminator (split-screen terminal app) with vim in one panel and a shell in the other for running rdmd.

I don't want to sound like one of those Unix condescending users (http://www.perturb.org/images/1/dilbert-unix.png) but with Vim loaded with the plugins "project", "nerd_tree", "nerd_commenter", "yankring", "taglist", "ack", "mru" and "bufferexplorer" I don't feel the need for any (graphical) IDE.

Still using Eclipse with Descent as the IDE and TextMate as an lightweight editor.

Yea, Scintilla's great. *Only* thing I'd change about it is that I really, really wish it had support for elastic tabstops ( http://nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/ ). Ever since I first read that page, I've been itching to start using them. But aside from that one wish, Scintilla's very well done.
