IDE?  That's a more complicated Notepad++ or SciTE, isn't it?

Last one I tried to use insisted I create a "project" before it would let me do anything.  Then I tried to open my files, and it wouldn't let me compile them because it has some "project" issues.  I fought with it for an hour, and then wondered if it was broken.  I just wanted it to highlight source and let me use the menu to compile my fucking code.  : p

I've since extended SciTE to do exactly that.

It would be nice to have a GUI profiler and debugger... right now I'm using the dmd command line ones.
