I agree that an writing an IDE will be a massive project. But it doesn't 
have to be as complicated as Eclipse or MonoDevelop. These support 
plugins to add support for new languages, Eclipse contains support for 
UML diagrams and similar things. Not something that is needed to make a 
fully usable D IDE.
