I don't use an IDE for D programming, just vim + cmdline. However, I DO use one for php (Netbeans) and Swift (xcode). In both cases, I'm not as familiar with the standard library. In the case of PHP, my IDE tells me types, so it can auto-complete member names (I need this for that project). And especially in the case of Swift, the long verbose names of everything are hard to guess and hard to remember. Not to mention the visual editing of the UI for iOS apps. If I wrote more code in those languages, I might get to the point where I could remember all the proper names. But I still probably would use the code completion for it to avoid spelling errors -- something like iota is not readily descriptive of what it does, but it's a lot easier to spell correctly than didFinishSettingUpViewController or whatever the hell the real name is. IMO, the two killer IDE features are code completion and syntax highlighting. Almost every editor (not IDE) already does syntax highlighting and many support code completion. Most of the other stuff is not critical for success. I can read the compiler outputs and figure out the locations of stuff. Yeah, it's nice to have the editor show me there is an error. But I can deal with it otherwise. -Steve

This is the natural consequence of pursuing popularity by making things accessible to the lowest common denominator. You can't say it's wrong -- because without it, the programming industry wouldn't be anywhere near where it is today. But OTOH, some aspects of programming are inherently hard, and no matter what you do, you simply cannot remove the necessity of thought about your programming problem.

[...] To me, that's not necessarily the failure of the principle of using an IDE, but of the way in which existing IDEs are designed. Modern IDEs suffer from the same wrong design principles as modern browsers: too much accumulated technical debt and cruft accumulated from decades of legacy code, old habits that die hard, inertia in the name of backwards compatibility, and stagnation. Somebody should seriously rethink the whole design of the IDE experience. I, for one, in spite of currently preferring to work with vim + CLI tools, would love to see an IDE which does its job in a minimalistic, on-demand way, in which you only pay for what you use, and it does not take 5 minutes grinding your harddisk to next week and back again just to start up. What about an IDE that starts at lightning speed where you can immediately start typing code? Where you can just run the code immediately -- with the compilation steps *shown* and saved in a clear-text script that you can edit, as opposed to some mysterious black magic welded shut under the hood? Where advanced features are loaded on demand and unloaded when no longer used, as opposed to requiring GBs of RAM just to start up? The technology to do all this is already there, it just takes someone to think outside of the box and design something that doesn't look, run, and feel like an overweight elephant with an obesity problem.

It has also a corrolary that they're not capable to implement

The fundamental issue with these all battery included fancy IDE's (especially in Java) is that they tend to become dependencies of the projects themselves. How many times have I seen in my professionnal world, projects that required specific versions of Eclipse with specific versions of extensions and libraries? At my work we have exactly currently the problem. One developer wrote one of the desktop apps and now left the company. My colleagues of that department are now struggling to maintain the app as it used some specific GUI libs linked to some Eclipse version and they are nowhere to be found. You may object that it's a problem of the project management and I would agree. It was the management error to let the developer choose the IDE solution in the first place. A more classical/portable approach would have been preferable. Furthermore, it is extremely annoying that these IDE change over time and all the fancy stuff gets stale and changed with other stuff that gets stale after time. Visual Studio is one of the worst offenders in that category. Every 5 years it changes so much that everything learnt before can be thrown away. IDE's work well for scenarios that the developers of the IDE thought of. Anything a little bit different requires changes that are either impossible to model or require intimate knowledge of the functionning of the IDE. Visual Studio comes to mind again of an example where that is horribly painful (I do not even mention the difficulty to even install such behemoth programs on our corporate laptops which are behind stupid proxies and follow annoying corporate policy rules).

I don't think it's black and white as you make it out to be. When I was programming with JVM languages (Clojure, Scala, a bit of Java) I used Eclipse. I found that to be the right approach for those languages because everything is done in terms of projects. You can offload the management of your projects to the IDE. When I use D, I think in terms of individual files, and the cost-benefit analysis comes out in favor of opening the files in a text editor. This is not to say that there is anything wrong with using an IDE, it's simply a matter of preference. I have trouble seeing how an IDE is going to make anyone a better programmer. Perhaps a bit more productive, but carrying along the cost of using the IDE, as opposed to simply opening a file and typing. ed and vi have little in common with Emacs or Atom. Many C++ programmers have moved from using an IDE to using Vim, Emacs, and Atom the last few years. You might wish to check out this 10-minute presentation from the recent Emacs conf: https://media.emacsconf.org/2019/19.html It's definitely not 1970's technology.

This list could use some cleaning up. Some of the IDEs haven't been maintained in a while, and most of them are some obscure editors with basic D syntax highlighting. There should be a link o n the main webpage to a list of recommended IDEs, and the common ones, the ones people are looking for - IntelliJ D Plugin, VisualD, VSCode. Personally I use code-d. Haven't had much luck with the other D VSCode extension.

I use Geany, but I don't know that there's any good argument for that beyond it being my personal preference. A plain text editor has always been sufficient for me. That's actually one of the things I find attractive about D.
