May be this is true for expert or professional programmers. But
for people like me who only use D occasionally an IDE is a must.
IDE mainly helps me in reducing the amount of things I need to
memorize or remember like API, building tool names, command
syntaxes, etc. This is very important as my main profession is
not programming.
Especially since we aren't very good at API consistency.
