Another vote for emacs. (EmacsW32 for windows is what I use currently: 
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html It's based on more recent 
sources than the gnu.org versions.)

Although I haven't used emacs for debugging in ages (these days it's all 
Visual Studio), but back in the day I always found it a decent way to 
use gdb.  And it's what I use for editing all the time anyway.

For a more GUI-ish front end, Code::Blocks seems like a good choice, 
given that it's probably the only Windows IDE right now that has any 
support for D.
