Have a look at:

GtkD is pretty stable I think. wxD should also be ok, though I
haven't tried it yet. Have a look at iup. The original is
supposed to be rock solid. Or try any other of the wrappers
listed there.
At this stage, I'd recommend you to go with a wrapper. Native D
GUIs come and go and you might get stuck. With wrappers you know
what you get and if there's anything missing, you can interface
to the original framework yourself.
GtkD has loads of the nice features that Gtk has, e.g. a source
code editor (with line numbers and syntax highlighting). You can
use Glade to build the interface (drag and drop):
