Usually Vim, sometimes Eclipse (but the lack of a true vim plugin usually

Do you use any extensions? Can you advice something?

For vim? No, I don't use any particular extensions, although I know people
like various tabs, and file listing / session management type of plugins.

I use Descent. I've tried a couple of other (Windows) editors but it was more
trouble than it was worth (or too costly -- i.e., more than ~$30) to set it up
for D.

I'm using gdc/gdb with make, but am trying to use Code::Blocks...

wxD GUI has some support for Code::Blocks IDE - and vice versa,
eventually CB will support D language and wxD will support CB.

Some screenshots are at http://wxd.sourceforge.net/#codeblocks


I've also used Xcode IDE and the excellent plugin for Xcode 2.5,
which is available from http://michelf.com/projects/d-for-xcode/
(Xcode 1.5 looked like http://gdcmac.sourceforge.net/xcode.html)
But it isn't exactly cross-platform, and it isn't open source...

Although it is included free of charge when purchasing Mac OS X.

I thought it already has one in 0.5...

Oops; thought you meant "convert Eclipse JDT so it works with D", which 
is what Descent is. If you meant convert the application Eclipse to D, I 
think it wouldn't help very much. Eclipse is an application designed to 
run for long periods of time, which is where Java HotSpot compiler does 
its best, and the application model is VERY class-heavy, so converting 
it to anything that would actually instantiate the vast number of 
classes defined there literally (Java doesn't even need to instantiate 
classes w/o data members, such as anonymous Runnables, but D does) would 
probably just slow it down. Eclipse isn't slow because it's Java (Java 
performance is mostly a myth these days anyway), it's slow because it 
does so much stuff in the background.

That's probably answer to my post? Isn't it?

My post was of course joke. Frank Benoit is currently translating Java 
SWT library from Java to D, which is a huge work...

---

Eclipse seems to be a little slow in my experience. I use CodeBlocks for 
my regular development and it performs much better than Eclipse. But 
probably you  are right that Eclipse is just doing much more in the 
background.

But anyway I will switch to Descent for my regular work as soon as it 
will improve it's builder .IMHO good builder is very important for IDE; 
I usually click build/rebuild probably about hundred times a day).

I personally think that translation of SWT to D (native gui), and 
Descent IDE are most important projects for D being adopted by broader 
community of software developers.

Seconded.  Descent 0.51 is awesome!  The only thing that keeps me from
switching full time is a missing build setup like CodeBlocks has.
Descent's autocomplete and semantic analysis trounces all over code
blocks though, so I can't wait to switch!

Agreed as well.  DWT is another great project.

Since no one has mentioned it yet, I primarily use emacs + dsss. With 
C-x | bound to the "compile" command and C-x ` bound to "next-error" 
it's pretty sweet I think.

I've got my eye on the Editra and Peppy projects which both aim to be

What kind of bugs? Soft bugs like incorrect or missing matches, or

I tried Descent recently, but only on small code samples. I didn't try

It's been quite a while, so I don't really remember.  I definitely hit bugs
with syntax highlighting, and marking code with compilation errors.  I had
a manageable bug with automatic code compilation.  That last one was also
fixed rather quickly, but the other two reduced Descent to being about as
