VisualD is objectively the most functional and competent IDE/Debugger solution, BY FAR. It's not an opinion, it's a measurable fact. Obviously, if you are into vim/emacs/whatever, then you don't actually really care much about IDE support and debugging, and in that case, this question is not relevant to you. I agree that Code-D + VSCode is probably the second best solution, but there's really no comparison; the debugger is a kind of funny/sad joke, the D debug experience is poorly integrated, and the intellisense/autocomplete is nowhere near the same standard. There's no competition. Code-D is great work, but it's still catching up, and it may never do so because VSCode just has an embarrassingly bad debugger :(
