Geany works well for me.  Syntax highlighting and a symbols navigation 
sidebar.  Plus there is a customizable "snippets" facility (e.g. type 
"class" hit TAB and you get the shell of a class formatted how you like 
it, etc) if you like that type of thing.

I believe that it's available for Linux, Mac and Windows.

PS On the subject of snippets, does any one know how to get a D specific 
.gitignore added to github's new repo interface?  Currently, I just ask 
for the C one but D not being in the list of offerings makes it look 
like a second class language.
