Maybe there should be a more precise description what works.

I guess Syntax Highlighting works nearly everywhere. Formatting 
mostly works, but people need to configure dfmt. I would assume 
refactoring works nowhere, not even VisualD.

I have no Windows, I cannot try VisualD, so do not really know. 
It would require an integrated parser instead of using the usual 
external tools (dftm, etc).
