and I don't want to go back to VisualD after VSCode for either a usable mago or VS native debug.
Visual Studio makes a decent stand-alone source-level debugger. Just select the .exe file, and right-click it in the project/solution pane to start a debugging session. (Of course, you need to build with -m32mscoff or -m64 as well as -g). VisualD isn't even needed, though VS by itself won't understand D types like arrays/strings.
