Anyone have recommendations for which IDE to use to do an evaluation of D with? I don't need powerful capabilities as I'm just looking to write some code and get a feel for some things in D. A bundle would be great. Also, I think it would be fun to look at the libraries during the eval. "Eval" is too strong... I just wanna play around with D a little bit in my spare time. If I can't be up an running in less than an hour, including any reading necessary to get set up, I'll have to save it for another time. I definitely don't want to be at a commandline prompt. All comments/recommendations/opinions welcomed. (Thanks in advance).
I'm strange, I just use Kate and a terminal, and my little home-brewed sandboxing utils. I've had Eclipse installed before... even tried out Descent a while back... used to use the *Builder IDE's from Borland back in the day... but I've never, ever, really come to a point where I just must have one. I admit "intellisense" is nice, and it certainly came in damn handy with Java, but I don't really miss it all that much.
Maybe someday I'll refine my sandbox and release it for people like you who just want a quick-and-dirty working D environment to play in.
