I mainly use Vim for writing D code and rarely rely on a debugger
nowadays because to be frank none really worked in the past with
D. Recently however, D has made strides forward in GDB
compatibility (thanks to Iain Buclaw, et al) and i find it works
really well using a nice GUI frontend. I personally use Affinic
Debugger GUI[1].
Like you say sometimes you need to use a debugger when writing
'hard' code to find where that crash is or just to follow the
logic. To be honest it is a shock using any language without a
debugger as i've been spoilt rotten by Visual Studio in the past
but with D i manage with what i've got just fine.
