I'm from the Java camp and am not familiar with Visual Studio. Those shells have no UI, do they? Those "ordinary application developers like me" always first ask for an IDE before they look at some language. Maybe I will never become a real D systems programmer ... ;-).
The shell *is* the UI. I don't own VS either, so the shell is what I use for Visual D. Install the shell first, then install Visual D and you are good to go.
Thanks for your reply, but seriously: a D plugin for IDEA would give D a boost. I don't know with IntelliJ wold do that without asking for money, but I guess they wold be very helpful at least. IDEA also exists for Mac and Linux by the way.
I rather doubt it would give D much of a boost. Though it would certainly be a nice options. Right now, it seems (anectdotally) that the most popular options are Visual D and Mono D. Both are good choices.
