I had try, it seems feasible, but it's an huge amount of work. It's preferable to let contributors choose for which IDE they want add D support. If you want try with QtCreator is a good thing, but it will certainly best to concentrate effort on projects that are already usable.
That's fair enough, but it does seem like a good strategic choice if a major target audience is C/C++ users.
I did actually try using it already, just as a glorified text editor, to see how it'd cope with D syntax -- pretty well, apart from not highlighting or understanding indentation rules with respect to non-C++ stuff like foreach.
I didn't personally warm to MonoDevelop, but to be fair, I didn't give it much of a go. Maybe I'll reinstall it some time and see how it works out.
I hope to see MonoD on github/d-programming-language too if it's the case of VisualD.
Yes, I think that's a good plan. I rather hope that all the major IDEs will be supported as first-class citizens in the long run.
