Code::Blocks currently supports D as a "C/C++ compiler", that is it
thinks that DMD or GDC is some weird compiler with strange flags...
Support for D "proper" and support for Mac OS X has been pushed to
past the 1.0 release, in other to not delay that for another year.

That doesn't mean that you can't use D (or Mac) now, because you can.

The "native" D projects will probably be better (even ported from Java),
the advantage of using old C++ solutions like wxWidgets / Code::Blocks
is that you can use that bigger old code base and community for help...
And this is why the IDE projects for wxD 1.0 will be Code::Blocks 1.0.
