Coedit is actually by far my favorite IDE for D testing and
debugging.
I liked it immediately after I saw that it doesn't need to create
a project if all you need it compile and test a small D script.
I know I can create a project, but for tiny projects I don't use
it on purpose, despite I personally prefer to have only one file
per class, because projects tie the source code compilation to a
particular IDE.
All my tools can be compiled with "dmd xxx.d", which is really as
simple as it can possibly be.
I know that "dmd aaa.d bbb.d ccc.ddd ..." works too, but as long
as my scripts are just a few hundreds of lines of code long, I'm
ok with that.
My only concerns with Coedit are a few usability problems when
editing the code.
By default :
* When I copy a block of code, I have to select it from the end
of the previous line, or else the inserted code indentation goes
wrong.
* When doing a find and replace, Coedit replaces the next
occurrence despite I don't see it and I'm not sure I want to
replace it, instead of the one highlighted under the cursor,
which I'm totally sure I want to replace.
* A closing brace is automatically inserted at the wrong position
and with a unwanted blank line if I put enter to insert a missing
closing brace.
I'm not sure, but I think the case is the following :
{
{
{
}<- editor bugs if I put enter to manually add the
missing brace on the next line
}
* The regular expressions are always enabled by default when
searching text.
* When I change some preferences, Coedit only keeps them until
the next restart.
I know that's really not much, but this bothers me enough so that
I still prefer Geany for pure coding sessions.
Only after I've finished programming the core code and prettified
it, I switch to Coedit to try compiling, testing and debugging it.
Except for these tiny annoyances when typing code, Coedit is an
exceptionally good IDE, and I really like it a lot, that's why
it's the only one I've mentioned.
I don't mind posting my usability remarks on your Github account
if you confirm me that they can indeed be considered as "bugs"...
