I have just upgraded to IntelliJ IDEA 16 so I'll give it a try.

All my JVM-language projects, I now do a Gradle build specification for and then let IntelliJ IDEA build a project based on that. CLion does the same with CMake.

Given we can build D projects with CMake and IntelliJ IDEA plugins can (with a bit of fiddling) be used in CLion, I will try with CLion 1.5.

I think D should focus on CLion not on IntelliJ IDEA.

I Agree but CLion is not free and accessible as IDEA. I believe it should still get support but IDEA should have top priority.

Actually CLion is free for those who can show their use is for a FOSS project. I have a licence for Zipios. But you have to apply.

IntelliJ IDEA Community is indeed just download and go, but it is fundamentally JDK Maven/Gradle oriented. OK so Gradle has a C++ build capability, but it doesn't have a SCons, CMake or Dub one really.

My background here is that I think all builds should be driven by a text file. Whilst Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA used to demand manually constructed projects, this approach is now history. All the IDEs now focus on generating projects from external build descriptions. For all my projects I use a Gradle, CMake, or SCons file and then generate projects as needed.

I am told there are some differences between plugins for CLion and
IntelliJ IDEA but not too different so a single code base should
suffice.
