digitalmars.D.learn - Productive vibe.d dev environment (IDE, debugger) on Linux?

Hey guys,

can anyone recommend a more or less production-ready dev 
environment for vibe.d on Linux?
I'm evaluating vibe.d against Phoenix (Elixir/Erlang) for a new 
project. Today I gave Visual Studio Code a quick shot (with LDC 
1.1.1 and DMD 2.071/72/74), with Webfreak's plugins, but I'm not 
happy at all (gdb/lldb crashing most of the time incl. debugged 
process, no AutoComplete/IntelliSense due to problems when 
building some of the plugin dependencies etc.).

Any hints are greatly appreciated, as I'm really impressed by 
vibe.d itself so far.

I really just use Atom along with plugins to call build scripts that eventually calls dub for building. Sadly there's still no actual "good" D IDE.

I find MonoDevelop on Linux / Xarmain Studio on Windows with the D language plugin works quite well with Vibe 0.7.30 (OSX is worse but still somewhat useable). Code completion doesn't seem to work well with later versions. I've not tried debugging on Windows but on Linux there is support to use GDB which gives you breakpoints and things inside the IDE. I've not used it beyond breakpoints and inspecting variables I don't know what will work. I've heard that GDC works better with GDB than the other compilers but I've not personally verified that.

DDT: http://ddt-ide.github.io/ It just works including debugging, but autocompletion is rudimental.

I use sublime on ubuntu with D plugins. No phobos or vibe.d autocompletion though. I ok with it for now. I was using php but vibe.d and D are more productive and capable plus phobos has useful stuff in it. DaemonizeD package is also very handy.
