I'm working on a search utility using gtkd, it's essentially a 
GUI for grep. I was using a program called Search Monkey 
previously but it hasn't seen much development and was pretty 
buggy, so looking to replace it with something of my own. This is 
my first experience using D and GTK so I'm a complete newbie.

My limited experience with gtkd has been very positive, while the 
documentation is primarily reference material it's not very 
difficult to figure out how things work with GTK based on 
examples from C or pyGTK. I do use Linix and Gnome Shell so I'm 
fully wedded to the Gnome HIG so no issues for me in terms of 
using GTK as a toolkit since it's native to my environment.

I really like the fact that gtkd appears to be a full binding and 
supports GTK 3.16 so newer GTK features like headerbar are 
available. I had considered learning Go for this utility but the 
lack of a full binding for GTK was a major impediment for me. I 
had also previously fooled around with Python but didn't like the 
language very much, the dynamic typing and indentation to 
delineate blocks are not for me.
