I find Mono-D to work very well and is what I use. But if it's a bit heavy-weight for your liking, Sublime Text with DCD also works nicely (but doesn't have things like building the project built in unless you go through a bit of effort).

Someone made a ST plugin for DCD? Is it on Github somewhere?

Get Visual Studio. Its the best experience atm by far.

MonoDevelop is pretty good too. Mono-D is good, but MonoDevelop itself is kinda flaky.


What am I missing?

A copy of visual studio ;)

Look on Mono-D website. There's installation guide for Ubuntu. Basically you need to add ppa apt repository and you will get the latest Mono-D version.

I use Sublime Text 3 + dub. It's... sublime.

Yeah, here it is https://github.com/yazd/DKit

There is some dub stuff too on a different branch, but I'll need to merge that into master and test again after the changes to the master branch and dub.

I quite like the look of Sublime. Is it possible to integrate it and DUB? If so is that described anywhere?

No answer, just a related note: I'm a vim user, and usually wrap dub commands in a makefile to get "integration" with my editor. ST probably has some makefile integration too.

yazd has done some work toward this[1], though I don't know how functional it is.

Me too and that's all i use for development now. I know it's a big jump from an IDE to 'just' an editor but give vim a go*. Sublime Text does look nice and runs really well on Linux but to be honest save your money, use vim.

*and when i say 'give vim a go' i mean force yourself to stick with it and learn about text objects and movements. I only grokked it on my third attempt. I've never looked back.
