I'm pretty sure this is almost entirely a problem with typical linux IDE's UIs. Most of them are just pretty thin, inflexible, or awkward. I think GDB actually has more features than VC's debugger(?). At least, they should be basically the same with a sufficient UI. GDB actually knows about D thanks to a bunch of work Iain has done... I don't think we're gonna get that from MS any time soon. I'm hoping LLDB will support coff+pdb in time, only then do I imagine we'll have a hope at robust debugging of D code in windows.
