I LOVE geany.  Especially with the built in terminal.
I bound ctr-alt to switch to the terminal and ctr-super to switch to the  
editor.

When I need to easily look through multiple files, geany is my goto.

I found that the Terminal was easier and far more hackable for builds than  
any built in execution..

But that's just me.  I think Geany's D Syntax highlighting could use a  
little work(But it does highlight aliases as types, which is awesome), but  
It's never been enough of an issue for me to actually fix it. (And I might  
simply be running an older release)  Also I think Geany's block insert and  
block highlighting is easier than Vim's.

I never really liked CodeBlocks, It seems like it has soo many things that  
I wouldn't use simply because the manual method is easier.  But it is  
important to mention, since I assume lots of people don't know about all  
of the IDE's that support D.
