What IDE/EDITOR do you use for D? What plugins if you use Vim?
Vim with dutyl and a few other odds and ends.
I'm not really a fan of IDEs, I like syntax highlighting,
auto-completion and go-to-definition etc. but I don't see why I
should have to use an enormous monolithic program with a terrible
text editor just to get those features.
I'd far rather start with a good text editor and add on the fancy
extras.
Integrated debugging has never been much use to me, but I realise
that it does depend a lot on the sort of projects one works on. I
fire up gdb once a week for a really confusing segfault, but
almost everything else is easier for me to find with printf and
similar.
I think there is the concept of an IDE out there that I would
like, but to my knowledge it hasn't been made.
