For Windows http://d-ide.sourceforge.net/ is probably great. I use Geany (on Linux), but unfortunately it's not really an IDE.. autocompletion doesn't really work (things get completed, but not smartly - it isn't aware of the type of a variable for example). Currently I hope that http://d-dev-ide.blogspot.com/ will be as great as it looks.

Does vi support autocompletion for D? If not, I can write a plugin for that...

From: patl athena.mit.edu (Patrick J. LoPresti) Subject: The True Path (long) Date: 11 Jul 91 03:17:31 GMT Newsgroups: alt.religion.emacs,alt.slack When I log into my Xenix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi *and* Emacs are just too damn slow. They print useless messages like, 'C-h for help' and '"foo" File is read only'. So I use the editor that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time. Ed, man! !man ed ED(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual ED(1) NAME ed - text editor SYNOPSIS ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ] DESCRIPTION Ed is the standard text editor. --- Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first alphabetically, but because it's the standard. Everyone else loves ed because it's ED! "Ed is the standard text editor." And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair. Just look: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 24 Oct 29 1929 /bin/ed -rwxr-xr-t 4 root 1310720 Jan 1 1970 /usr/ucb/vi -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5.89824e37 Oct 22 1990 /usr/bin/emacs Of course, on the system *I* administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!! "Ed is the standard text editor." Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed: golem> ed ? help ? ? ? quit ? exit ? bye ? hello? ? eat flaming death ? ^C ? ^C ? ^D ? --- Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity. "Ed is the standard text editor." Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all. ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!! When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!! TEXT EDITOR. When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their "edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard. Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!! ?

Editors are designed for specific people, editors :) All IDE's out there i have seen based on these editors. You ask what actual programmers use, they mostly use these editors, i was one of those, and i curse those times. I am not an editor but a code writer, two different things, and the difference is grand. There is only one "editor" out there i know that actually targets coders is, gvim. If you have time (and not a little), you should give it a try. Thanks. On Wed, 13 Oct 2010 04:57:44 +0300, Michael Stover <michael.r.stover gmail.com> wrote:Elephant appears dead.

I use that, too. When I need to debug, I use cv2pdb to create a .pdb file, and then just do "vcexpress myapp.exe". If get some time to work on my D projects again, I might look into VisualD. But it seems that D is cursed when it comes to IDEs. Nothing I've tried so far has been worth the trouble.

I've spent so much time on games, web and embedded that I've gotten used to printf-debugging, and when I do use a debugger I often find it to slow me down. Nothing against debuggers, they can be nice, but printf-debugging has the advantages of lower startup time, lower barrier-to-entry, and best of all, being much better at stepping backwards in time (all you have to do is look/scroll upwards).If get some time to work on my D projects again, I might look into VisualD. But it seems that D is cursed when it comes to IDEs. Nothing I've tried so far has been worth the trouble.
If it's support for contextual symbols (like code completion, etc) you're looking for, the d2tags tool someone made awhile ago makes it possible for PN2 to gain such support for D. It hasn't happened yet, but it looks like it's coming (they've set it to "High" priority and set a milestone for it): http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/detail?id=903

FWIW, Notepad++ has got an out-of-box D syntax highlighting support, too, recently (both Notepad++ and PN2 are based on Scintilla).
Yea, Scintilla's great. *Only* thing I'd change about it is that I really, really wish it had support for elastic tabstops ( http://nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/ ). Ever since I first read that page, I've been itching to start using them. But aside from that one wish, Scintilla's very well done.

I don't want to sound like one of those Unix condescending users (http://www.perturb.org/images/1/dilbert-unix.png) but with Vim loaded with the plugins "project", "nerd_tree", "nerd_commenter", "yankring", "taglist", "ack", "mru" and "bufferexplorer" I don't feel the need for any (graphical) IDE.

We already discussed this a week or two ago. Eclipse *with useless plugins disabled* works rather quickly on *modern* machines. That means, on Sun Java 6/7 JVM and Eclipse 3.6. SWT performance depends on your graphics drivers and also the SWT's libraries are improving constantly. The JVM can make use of multiple cores (e.g. parallel garbage collection) and over 1 GB of memory (remember to tune your jvm settings)! You can also improve the slow startup times with a disk cache and/or raid-0 setup and/or ssd disks. Surprising, eh?!

I stick with Vim. Who needs anything else? :P Casey
Proper code completion, correctly jumping to function definitions, and various other features that IDEs generally do well tend to be quite poor in vim. It can do many of them on some level, but for instance, while ctags does give you the ability to jump to function declarations, it does quite poorly in the face of identical variable names across files. There are a number of IDE features that I would love to have and use but vim can't properly pull off. When I have a decent IDE, I'm always torn on whether to use vim or the IDE. vim (well, gvim) generally wins out, but sometimes the extra abilities of the IDE are just too useful. What I'd really like is full-featured IDE with complete and completely remappable vim bindings.
that IDEs do provide. I just really hate them because they tend to be bloated and I tend to type faster than the autocomplete. Also, when working with a laptop or Linux command line from time to time, it's good to not have to rely on a mouse or software that needs to be installed.I found this with a bit of googling: http://eclim.org/
I hated eclim. I found Vrapper to be much nicer as it just gave me most of Vim without doing things in a strange manner. http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/home/ Casey

The IDEs seem unable to provide the functionality. Usually they end up reformatting my entire file to some bizarre formatting that is not the one set up for the project. I appreciate that being able to trivially create properly formatted comments is probably uniquely my problem but . . .

Interesting. For anyone else who shares that opinion, what are the IDE's that you have seen? In particular, does this include JDT? -- Bruno Medeiros - Software Engineer

Proper code completion, correctly jumping to function definitions, and various other features that IDEs generally do well tend to be quite poor in vim.

Code::Blocks: Works quite well for Windows and Linux, except for some occasional dependency problems because of single-file compilation. Unusable on Mac because of keyboard shortcut issues. Project and build option configuration is a bit complicated and the toolchain-settings need to be tweaked manually. VisualD: Now seems quite stable and works well, good debugger integration. Right now I have to switch back to Code::Blocks on Windows because of DMD linking problems in the compile-everything-at-once-build that VisualD does (normally preferrable). D for XCode: Works really well for me on Mac OS since I took the time to understand the XCode project structure. It has, however, some serious problems with its dependency calculation and also does only single-file builds. I tried Descent several times and its semantic features were great, but the missing D2 support was always a problem.

Some Mac OS X keyboard shortcut issues were fixed in "10.05-p1"... If you are talking about the optional-but-default keybinder plugin. --anders

Yes, that version indeed fixes the cmd-key issue that was the problem (had to clean my Application Support/codeblocks directory though). I missed that release although I checked the front page and the nightly forum multiple times after the release. Thanks for the hint! Sönke

It looks there is no perfect IDE for D available (yet) - Qt is missing D support, Codeblocks lacks integration with e.g. QtD...so now when we'll start learning D (when will this TDPL arrive), I think I may just continue using Emacs, but I wonder if you (D users using Emacs) can recommend what would be the best code-completion system for it?
