I mean a plugin (I don't think there is any need to write IDE 
from beginning)

yes, I know, I had a look at VisualD already

it supports Unreal Script (Java-like language), of cause it is 
not so complex as D.

No, One of the option is to extend VisualD and other one is using 
Qt Creator as a base for plugin. Only difference that I have 
experience with writing "Language Packages" for VS and do not 
experience with writing a plugin for Qt Creator

But what I really want to find out if there is any need in any 
IDE or people just happy to use a text editor and a command line 
compiler.
