Wouldn't surprise me. The wxWidgets support is better, but that
uses GTK+ not Qt. (at least until wxQt has been released, that is)

Right, that would be just such an implementation of QSyntaxHighlighter.

You asked what is in Qt Creator at the moment, and I don't think that
anything specific to D had been added so far (except the "generic") ?

I'm not using D... Might try again, once D2 is available for 64-bit.

I just wanted something that was better than C and faster than Java,
not something that was better than C++. So I'll go with Objective-C.

Most of the time it will be Python, though. With some bits of C added.
