What's the best IDE for DigitalMars D programming? [closed]

Question

Digital Mars D seems to be very good programming language in a lot of ways, but my only problem with it is the amount of time wasted writing arguments to the compiler in the command line at the old fashion way. Is there any good IDE for D? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The best IDE to use for D is probably the IDE you use most often and are most comfortable with.

If you like Eclipse you should check-out DDT (D Development Tools) (formerly Descent)

If you like Visual Studio you should check-out VisualD.

There is also D for XCode but it seems to have fallen behind.

Another interesting option is Mono-D which adds nice D support to MonoDevelop. It works on Linux, Windows, and Mac.

Mono-D supports code completion, syntax highlighting, class browsing, error highlighting, 'Go to definition', intelligent code formatting, and more. If you like MonoDevelop, or need cross-platform support, it seems like a good choice.

MonoDevelop (and Mono-D) use the Visual Studio project format. It is possible that VisualD and Mono-D are able to share project files. I have not tested this.

EDIT: I just ran across this link that does a nice job of showing D IDE options including how actively they are developed.
