I don't really think there is a real alternative at the moment if you
plan to only use D. Some other frameworks use a different template
syntax, e.g.
Diamond MVC , which builds on top of vibe.d
(https://github.com/DiamondMVC/Diamond) or hunt-framework, which is
completely independent and developed by the Chinese community
(https://github.com/huntlabs/hunt-framework).

If you want to stick with "plain" vibe.d, but simply want syntax
highlighting for diet templates, I suggest to use Laurent Treguier's
extension for VS Code (https://github.com/LaurentTreguier/diet-vscode).
In my experience, it worked really well.
