IDE's    

  • Must have semantic features, or a GUI-builder, or good debugger integration.
An example of a semantic feature would be code completion (but not just completion of D keywords, which is merely syntactic). If it is a plugin for an IDE (such as Visual Studio), but the plugin itself only has editor features, place an appropriate note, or don't put it in the IDE category, as you feel appropriate.
