Xcode seems to clearly belong in the IDE category, but dunno about 
Code::Blocks, I don't know it that well. It depends in the level of 
integration, and for your description of it, it seems to be about in the 
middle. It could be placed in the IDE category, with a note saying it 
has few D-specific features. Well, let those who use Code::Blocks say 
what they think is more appropriate. :P
