You can use Code::Blocks and wxWidgets for an IDE and a GUI
on all platforms (Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD)

It's outdated (2008) and not a native D environment (C++),
so it probably won't work for evaluating D2 or TDPL book.


But it should be up and running is much less than an hour,
and it's also available in the package/ports repositories.

You can use either DMD/GDC and Phobos/Tango as you choose,
and the program and libraries are Free Software (GPL/LGPL).
