VisualD (VS), VS-code (webfreak.code-d), Intellij IDEA (Intellij D 
Language, not currently up to date with IntelliJ but should soon).

I use IntelliJ IDEA.

No surprise.

VisualD is your only option if you for some reason can't get DCD, 
Dscanner and dfmt to compile (it should be as simple as git clone + dub 
build for each although DCD needs a config arg for server + client).

But if you can't get an IDE up and running, just stick with syntax 
formatting to start off with. D is perfectly ok to be developed like that.
