I don't know how well DCD works with other editors, but in Emacs 
at least (when DCD doesn't throw an exception, I need to chase 
those down), autocomplete and code navigation just work. 
_Including_ dub dependencies.

Debugging can definitely be improved on. Even with Iain's fork of 
gdb I end up using writeln instead because it's frequently easier.
