That's depends on what you're comfortable with and if you're a
core windows guy... how you use it too.
Not really. VisualD is objectively the most functional and competent IDE/Debugger solution, BY FAR.
It's not an opinion, it's a measurable fact.
Obviously, if you are into vim/emacs/whatever, then you don't actually really care much about IDE support and debugging, and in that case, this question is not relevant to you.
I agree that Code-D + VSCode is probably the second best solution, but there's really no comparison; the debugger is a kind of funny/sad joke, the D debug experience is poorly integrated, and the intellisense/autocomplete is nowhere near the same standard. There's no competition.
Code-D is great work, but it's still catching up, and it may never do so because VSCode just has an embarrassingly bad debugger :(
