The first (that I’m aware of) commercial IDE specifically for D has officially been released in version 1.0 form. According to the website, it only supports development with D2 (and specifically mentions support for DMD 2.046). You can download 10-day trial versions for both Windows and Linux to decide if you like it or not. A single-user license costs, currently, $239. If anyone has any feedback, specifically on how it compares to something like VisualD, I’d love to hear it.
D Bits- Binding D to C Part Two January 31, 2012This is part two of a series on creating bindings to C libraries for the D programming language. In my previous post, I discussed the difference between dynamic and static bindings and some of the considerations to take into account when deciding which way to go. Here in part two,... […]
- Binding D to C January 8, 2012This is part one of a series on creating bindings to C libraries for the D programming language. This is a topic that has become near and dear to my heart. Derelict is the first, and only, open source project I've ever maintained. It's not a complicated thing. There's very little... […]
- Dolce and Da5teroids December 18, 2011So I've finally gotten started on some game code. In order to see if Dolce is actually useful or a waste of time, I decided to start by porting the A5teroids demo that ships with the Allegro 5 package. Here's what I've learned so far. First, the whole idea of Dolce as a framework on top of Allegro to allow an absolute minimum amount of startup […]
- Dolce Gets Some Love November 17, 2011Once the semester ended, I took a week to do nothing but play Dark Age of Camelot and get some much needed guitar practice in. Then I dove back in to the gym for some long overdue exercise. I also managed to pick up a few more private classes to fill some of the gaps in my schedule. Once I let off all that steam, I fired up... […]
- On My Job, and Some Big D News October 9, 2011Dolce is still very much alive, just getting little attention while I wrap up the second semester at the university. For anyone interested, I'm teaching in a special program where a local university here in Seoul is partnered with a university in America. The students do two semesters here in Korea before moving off to the States for three years. We... […]

VisualD seems to be much better.
Also, those persons who speak Russian can read the discussion with detailed description here: http://www.linux.org.ru/jump-message.jsp?msgid=4972623&cid=4973059
Shortly:
* Bitprox uses own custom build of wxWidgets (distributed with application), if you have another version installed it can refuse to run.
* No autocompletion at all, no refactor, compile-time view, quickfix etc.
* Own proprietary build system for projects, no external build tools support (and it is even not planned). It makes team development with this IDE extremely difficult.
* No plugins, no version control support.
* Extremely high price.
So as for now, Bitrpox is not far from vim/emacs with D language support. Probably next versions will be better.
The pricing is a bit strange but this is a good news anyway!
