A question for the vim users out there: What plugins etc are you using  
when writing D code?
I'm using the patched ctags, updated d.syntax and snipMate, but are there  
other good plugins I could use?

I use vim, and I find that just vanilla vim does the job fine for me.
I don't tend to use autocomplete unless its really smart (like using
clang-complete for C/C++), and I should probably grab the latest D
syntax file. mostly just judicious use of "/" and "<number>gg" gets me
most places.

I use SnipMate with many custom snippets
(I can post some if you want, but many are specific to my 
projects)

I also use: ack          (better grep) ConqueTerm   (terminal 
inside Vim)
supertab     (tab completion)
session      (sessions, duh)
autoComplPop (automatically shows completion popup when writing,
               so you just press Enter to complete)

and apparently some other plugins, but I don't remember what 
those do.

Also persistent undo and various other .vimrc settings.

Thanks. supertab and autoComplPop seems really nice.

A couple of other stuff to add to the list:
surround, delimitMate
and "smart semicolon" in .vimrc: inoremap <leader>; <C-o>A;<cr>

It would be great if you could share your snippet file even if it's quite  
specific for your projects. Would be great even if only serving as an  
example.

I removed project-specific stuff and uploaded it to GitHub:

Thanks! I see we have added much of the same stuff. I was hoping you had  
found a way to avoid all the duplication, which I see you haven't  
unfortunally.
I have stuff like the following in my file.
absolutely horrible duplication


snippet tn
	throw new ${1}Exception(${2:"error"});
	${3}
snippet try
	try
	{
		${1:static assert(false);}
	}
snippet catch
	catch(${1}Exception ${2:ex})
	{
		${3:static assert(false, "$1Exception not handled");}
	}
snippet finally
	finally
	{
		${1:static assert(false, "finally not implemented.");}
	}
snippet tc
	try
		${1:static assert(false)};
	catch(${2}Exception ${3:ex})
		${4:static assert(false)};
	${5}
snippet tcb
	try
	{
		${1:static assert(false);}
	}
	catch(${2}Exception ${3:ex})
	{
		${4:static assert(false);}
	}
	${5}
snippet tf
	try
		${1:static assert(false)};
	finally
		${2:static assert(false)};
	${3}
snippet tcf
	try
		${1:static assert(false)};
	catch(${2}Exception ${3:ex})
		${4:static assert(false)};
	finally
