Mono-D and Eclipse DDT both have major problems with long pauses while

That doesn't surprise me.
I really do highly recommend Sublime Text. It was created by a former
game dev, and he really, really cares about performance. I've opened
binary files in it that are hundreds of megs and it doesn't even flinch.
Just loads it up, and then you can scroll through it or jump around at
full speed with no pauses or momentary glitches. I can't recommend it
highly enough.

Geany works well for me. Syntax highlighting and a symbols navigation
sidebar. Plus there is a customizable "snippets" facility (e.g. type
"class" hit TAB and you get the shell of a class formatted how you like
it, etc) if you like that type of thing.
I believe that it's available for Linux, Mac and Windows.

PS On the subject of snippets, does any one know how to get a D specific
.gitignore added to github's new repo interface? Currently, I just ask
for the C one but D not being in the list of offerings makes it look
like a second class language.
