It's tricky in D. Because of it's heavy use of metaprogramming 
and features like UFCS and alias this it's not always obvious 
what the autocomplete should be autocompleting.

The C++ debuggers seem to work quite well with D, even if they 
don't have support for D-specific stuff

The awareness isn't needed. An effort is.

I never had much luck with DLS unlike code-d. I guess it depends 
on individual preferences.

Money is always welcome, I suppose.

Sounds like you're dedicated. You can start the effort.

I don't mean to be snarky, but most people are aware of the 
ecosystem issues. Demanding features doesn't work though, the 
only way things will move forward if someone starts it themselves 
and people get on board later on.
