I agree. I do like the suggestion for developing the D grammar in Antlr though and it is something I would be interested in working on. With this in hand, the prospect of adding D support as was done for C++ to Eclipse or Netbeans becomes much more feasible. Has a complete grammar been defined/compiled or is anyone currently working in this direction? Having a robust IDE seems far more important than whether it is written in D itself.
D is not a parser generator friendly language. I have pretty complete ANTLR2 grammars for D1 and D2, but they are slow.
