Two Editor Items
December 29th, 2006 | by Aldacron |Two recent announcements in the NG, made five minutes apart, are related to writing D code.
The first is for the penguin heads: Jason Mills announced a new version of a D syntax script for vim (shudder). You can get it from the vim website.
The second is for Eclipse fans: Ary Manzana has released version 0.1 of Descent, his D-editor Eclipse plugin. Read more about it on the project wiki.

I’ve found poseidon to be the best IDE so far but I will try Descent.

I just use Crimson Editor. When we see a true IDE (i.e. one that truly integrates tools) with debugging, profiling, and advanced features like refactoring, packaging, and so on, I might move over to it. Right now, the only D “IDEs” I’ve seen are just editors with some form of project management. Crimson Editor can do that. If Poseidon has built-in debugging, that’s a step up.

Well, it doesn’t really have any of those things. Besides the editor itself, syntax highlighting, content assist and project management, it’s pretty bare bones.
I wonder how long it’ll be before we see a real D IDE. Unfortunately, it’ll probably be a commercial offering before a free one.
