Sweet! Glad you're back and working on this!
Was wanting to give it a shot, but typing } on my keyboard 
(german layout, right-alt + 0) did not actually insert the 
character into the opened document, so I gave up.
Most of the UI stuff looks really neat (especially like the 
directory structure preview when creating a new 
project/workspace), but obviously still needs a lot of work (you 
cannot drag dialogs around, fe).
One of the things I did manage to try was putting a readln() into 
the standard hello-world-console-app preset. Turns out that it 
causes dlangide to hang up because it's not actually possible to 
have user input (or to configure dlangide to start the project 
separately so a regular console window appears). Killing the 
started process also was not possible since the respective option 
to stop debugging is still grayed out.

 From the looks of it, this is very promising though. I like the 
Workspace layout and the general feel of the IDE (very 
responsive, very clean) and it all kind of makes me wish it 
wouldn already have enough features (especially debugging!) to be 
a viable option.

I still haven't written much D code and my time is somewhat 
limited, but if there are simple tasks you need to get done, I 
would be glad to offer help!

Here's to hoping this IDE will keep going and turn out well :-)
