I am agree with your opinion too. I just would like to start with 
D from .NET and Java world. Two days I am searching some working 
IDE.
So powerful language and nothing about IDE.
My exp are (Windows 10, 64 bit):
1. DLangIDE - amazing, natural, simple and fast. DCD works till 
first start debugging
(Linux Mint too)
2. VisualD - can not even build HelloWorld Enterprise :) app 
(path problem)
3. TextAdept - DScanner works, DCD failed to work
4. ....
Just would like to ask where people write code?
