Code::Blocks, while being a C/C++ IDE that kinda thinks that DMD/GDC
are some weird "compilers", does have most of the basic IDE features.
It does allow you to create projects and edit code, and it allows you
to build with DMD or GDC and run and debug them with for instance GDB.

So shouldn't it be listed among the D IDE's ? Theoretically it even
has a GUI builder with wxSmith and wxD, although no template just yet.
(the builder writes xml-based "XRC" files, which can be loaded by wx)
And it's also cross-platform and free software, which is rather rare.

I added Xcode to the IDE list, since it does have lexing and completion.
http://michelf.com/projects/d-for-xcode/ (does require Mac OS X though)
