digitalmars.D.ide - What about a good IDE for D?

Hi,
i'm starting learning the D programming language. I think that a first starting
point is a good programming tutorial (not yet available about D, but the net is
full of info) and a good IDE.

I saw a lot of D IDE, some written in D itself, some as plugin for eclipse and
for kdevelop or anjuta.

What about a good D ide? Does somebody know a good ide that works well on Linux
Ubuntu? Thanks...

Like with any other language, it depends on what you want from an IDE. 

Descent (the eclipse plugin), is by far the most advanced IDE for D at the
moment and should work well on ubuntu. Code::blocks is nice too, D is
supported but I'm not sure how advanced it is for D programming. In the
category of lightweight editors, I find kate and scite work well for D. I
don't have any experience with Poseidon or Zeus. 

Can't give any one recommendation other that to at least try Descent,
because it has the most advanced D specific features.

In this instance Zeus will be of no use since it is only 
available for the Windows platform.

It's not really true... Yep, it's an .exe, but with wine it worked. :) there
are problems loading the icons, but the IDE works...

You know for some strange reason people tend to laugh at this suggestion. 
Yet I continue to advocate its greatness.

Hello,

I don't know if it is a *good* IDE but I use "Geany" in my Ubuntu 8.04, and it
is enough for a beginner like me.

IDE at the beginning?
You must be joking :D - sorry but I believe it's not usefull to use an 
IDE to learn a language. I am using only a small texteditor (the one 
from window (notepad)) and the commandline compiler.
And it works well. There is no problem. ;)

All over you are able to concentrate on learning.
There are no buttons and this and this.
All in all there are a lot of teachers/profs who say:
"If you want to learn a programming language use only a texteditor".
...


Good luck.

Greetings

At least use a *good* text editor. One with syntax highlighting, proper 
support for Unix and Windows line endings, and automatic indentation. I 
use vim; emacs is a good choice, too. A lot of people I work with use 
notepad++. My roommate swears by ultraedit, though that costs money.

And if you just want to get stuff done, use a good IDE. It saves a lot 
of time and effort.
