gofmt, much like python's standardized formatting, made contributing to

hopefully dfmt becomes a standard tool and each dub project can just
include a dfmt.conf or something to make contributing easier.
dfmt options go in .editorconfig with the rest of your project's style
decisions like tabs/spaces and line length.
I agree with the OP on the tooling point, just look at C++. C++ had
historically zero(okay, some - but it sucked! ctags were awful, etc.)
tooling before clang hit the scene. IMO clang/LLVM was a complete game
changer for C++ tooling, and I hope D can do the same.
For what it's worth, D-Scanner can output ctags information for D files.
Clang has a static analyzer, a formatter, a modernizer...
Hell, clang(and obv. libclang) can dump the AST right from its driver,
and even has autocompletion built into it(-code-completion-at)
We now have a formatter. D-Scanner can perform some static analysis and
dump an AST from its parser, DCD provides autocompletion. dfix can
perform syntax upgrades.
Can D-Scanner really provide you with autocompletion for code that is
from a mixin generated by CTFE?
