I use VSCode with Laurent Tréguier's Dlang extension[0], which provides support for autocomplete, linting, and formatting code, and dub for building, testing, and managing packages.

The reason for choosing the Dlang plugin over code-d is pretty petty; it's just because I prefer Dlang's syntax highlighting, since it highlights class names in a teal color.

Vscode is my preferred editor as well. I recently switched to Dlang from code-d. To me Dlang has felt more stable. I frequently switch back and forth across multiple OSs and computers so the most reliable is what I will go with. I also like that DLang uses D language server rather that relying on dfmt dcd and scanner separately.

I still like code-d and would recommend anyone to try both before deciding for yourself. I used code-d for about 3 years.
