mostly geany with bud/build

so i don't need any project files but can easily tackle small and medium sized projects. i love the way how bud tracks down all imports, (can) clean up after compilation, and handles different sets of options in option groups - and geany does the rest

one of my projects might grow big enough to benefit from a full-fledged IDE, probably MonoD as this project is multi-platform. otherwise VisualD as VS is more stable than monodevelop. i played with both but in general, i find those big IDEs to awkward to deal with for small projects.

Yeah, I'd say about half my time is spent on a remote computer, generally my laptop.

All my files and programs are on my desktop, but I'm not always there. Sometimes I just want to sit in an other room or in the yard, but often (several hours a day, almost every day) I'm at a friend's house keeping an eye on their kids. Since the kids almost take care of themselves, I bring my laptop and continue to do my computer work from there too.

I actually shelled out... I think $20 a few years ago, for a program called ExpanDrive on Windows, which connects via ssh to my Linux box and presents it as a windows drive. Pretty cool, it works fairly well and is a nice supplement to putty.

Mainly VisualD and for linux Mono-D.

Mono-D have a great auto completion.

Sublime Text 3

The headers of your messages tell me that you probably do email the same way I do too: keep it all on the home computer and ssh in with mutt!

(I use the website for replying to D postings though, since the mailing list interface I find unreliable for outgoing messages.)

GNU Emacs

Ubuntu Linux with:
- gvim compiled with the breakindent patch (that I had to patch myself for the vim source I checked out) for nicely wrapped and indented long lines (mostly used outside D programming).
- xfce4-terminal
- rdmd for simple programs,
- gnu make when interfacing with C/C++.

This is why I use Unison to ensure that all my filestores (server, workstation, two Linux laptops, two OS X laptops, all have replicas of my personal filestore. It avoids the need for being always properly connected to the Internet.

Emacs 24, there is no other editor. :-)
