Vim, on Ubuntu. :-)

The actual reason is rather trivial.  I've always favoured a mixed tab-space 
indent style for code ("tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment"), as 
described here:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SmartTabs

Unfortunately, most text editors don't seem to support this very well any more. 
  In KDE 3 both Kate and KDevelop used to support it well, but since KDE 4 came 
out it seems to have been dropped.  If you search "mixed tab-space indentation" 
you'll even come across a rather forlorn post of mine from the time on the 
Ubuntu Forums trying to sort this out:

Vim and Emacs seem to be the only editors where it's readily possible to 
implement this these days, and vim is easier to use, so it wound up being the 
only choice.

The irony is that given that standard D style is a 4-space indent, these days 
I've turned off the mixed tab-space style, for D at least ... but I'm still 
using vim, and I even find myself accidentally hitting vim-style commands if I 
use another editor to code.

I did go through a period of using CodeBlocks for my official D contributions, 
with the 4-space style, and vim for my private projects, with mixed tab-space 
style; but eventually I decided, OK, D style is D style, follow the standard in 
all cases, and just went to vim for everything.

I still do mixed tab-space for C/C++ though.  Yes, I know.  Burn the witch. :-)
