I'm primary on Windows and I have never had any troubles setting 
up D or getting an environment working, but that might just be 
me. I did spend the first year of my D experience using 
command-line and notepad++ only though; however recent years I've 
used atom with some cmd hacking to setup my environment there. I 
do have Visual D, but it's just not suitable for custom build 
processes with multiple projects; especially not with dub.
