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.

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!
