I have been using Textadept ( http://foicica.com/textadept/ ) with Textadept-d ( https://github.com/Hackerpilot/textadept-d ). I use mostly on Linux for development, but I've recently spent two or three days on Windows and things worked well enough for me.

(Coming for someone who has used Emacs for everything int he last 15+ years, this must mean something :-) )

Hope this helps,

LMB

Trying to get VS Code to work with code-d... can't get dcd to work with it. It says it's failed to kill the dcd server when I try to reload it. It wasn't appearing in task manager (but dcd-client was) and manually starting it up didn't make it work in vs code. Trying to restart it in cmd freezes that window and the task refuses to kill. I'm trying to fix it now but I don't even know why it's not working...

The arsd stuff just gives me a thick list of internal errors when I try to import it through dub. But I might almost have GLFW working... I can't really tell yet, but I did finally find the right dll to link to (files in the Windows x64 binaries kept giving me an error, but the one x64 dll in the x86 download ended up working).

Not keen to try vim if it doesn't have the features I need to compensate for being a shitty programmer.
