I'm strange, I just use Kate and a terminal, and my little home-brewed sandboxing utils. 
I've had Eclipse installed before... even tried out Descent a while back... used to use 
the *Builder IDE's from Borland back in the day... but I've never, ever, really come to a 
point where I just must have one.  I admit "intellisense" is nice, and it certainly came 
in damn handy with Java, but I don't really miss it all that much.

Maybe someday I'll refine my sandbox and release it for people like you who just want a 
quick-and-dirty working D environment to play in.
