I agree, this idea to write a proper, *fully-featured* IDE in D is 
simply totally unrealistic. If it's just a D editor with some IDE 
functionality, sure, someone can toy around and try to work on that, but 
as for a proper IDE, there is just so much functionality and 
infrastructure that platforms like Eclipse, Visual Studio, MonoDevelop, 
Netbeans, etc., provide that is dumb and futile to try replicate all of 
that in D. There are years of paid, multi-developer teams work behind 
that infrastructure, and you want one or two guys to replicate that in 
their free time? Right.
We don't even have a mature, fleshed-out D GUI library, let alone IDE 
infrastructure...
