What is the easiest way to create GUI applications in D? Like drag n drop style? IDE support? (We're using Windows 10 in our organization, so a Windows-friendly solution would be nice) Thanks!

You have Glade (installed separately) that is the interface designer. With my current project, however, I am writing it all in D code... very easy and readable so far. :-) However, I have only compiled/run my examples on Linux. I do not know how they would turn out when running on Windows 10. I have heard GTK doesn't always look as nice on Windows or Apple but this may have been common in the past... or depends on what you are adding to the Window/Form. (It seems like we are in a similar boat about using D on Windows systems. I have recently created a question about vibe.d on windows. lol. I am hoping that Dlang, for the most part, will be my answer to the 'one great language' of mine for multiple platforms)

But it has CSS support. Recently, I was playing around with theming, and got successfully an OSX looknfeel on win 10 using https://github.com/vinceliuice/Sierra-gtk-theme. There is Win10 themes also available (https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1216281/). Another issue to consider would be file dialogs. Gtk has its own generic file dialog, but there is an option to prefer native file dialogs on Windows.What is the easiest way to create GUI applications in D? Like drag n drop style? IDE support?
