Since I am unabashadly new to the D language, I am appealing to the more experienced here.  I know there isn't much in the way of IDE integration, but at the very least I would like something that has syntax highlighting.

What are people using to develop with?  How does it work for you?

I just want some guidance getting a simple, but workable environment to play around with.

TextPad.

OK on the whole.  Though I'm still waiting for it to support nested comments and WYSIWYG strings.

Crimson Editor. I like it so much, I've taken to using it for C development also (in conjunction with Mingw and a Python build script). The D syntax file is missing the 'package' keyword, but IIRC that's the only one.

I use EditPlus and a console window.  Few frills, fewer obstacles.  ;) Although for my Java and C# work (not that I do much anymore) I use Borland's Builder series (JBuilderX and C#Builder/1... there's free versions of both available, btw).  Maybe one day, once D/1.0 is available, we might see a Borland DBuilder/1 hit the market. (*gratuitous drooling*)  For Python I also use EditPlus, and occasionally the little editor that ships with it, for its deeper error reporting (when debugging or hunting odd errors).

I'm really starting to enjoy Elcipse 3.0 with the EclispeD plugin from www.dsource.org.  As a plus, it works great on both Linux and Win32.

Unfortunately, the guy who wrote DIDE has withdrawn it and is planning to rewrite the IDE from scratch. Why we loose DIDE is beyond me, but this seems to be one big whim on his part. Let's hope he sees sense ;-)

Is that true?

I am almost certainly migrating, so I will probably be using Ants LEDS.

LEDS?

DIDE is gone, so unless someone has a spare copy that can be downloaded,
the one on the site is gone.
