https://wiki.dlang.org/IDEs has some links. If you're already 
using some popular IDE, you should look for a D plugin for it.

I generally just use vim with syntax highlighting and a single 
keybinding to run dfmt for me. Despite not using an IDE, I don't 
spend a lot of time writing arguments to the compiler, because I 
use build systems to supply arguments to compilers. D has 
https://dub.pm/getting_started which you should've gotten along 
with a D compiler, and perhaps https://mesonbuild.com/ and, for 
what it's worth, even makefiles can save a lot of time at the 
commandline.

If you want a solid place to start instead of a lot of options, 
go with VS Code and its D plugin, and use dub as your build 
system. If you have any issues with VS Code you can join the 
Discord at https://discord.gg/bMZk9Q4 (or if you don't like that, 
a Matrix bridge gets you to a few of the same room, including the 
editor one:
