What's the news on this? I applaud your efforts as D needs a good 
ide that contributes to the programmers productivity.

Is the D grammar implementation still the issue?

I saw someone mention JFlex and someone at

http://forum.dlang.org/post/rgaqfhccifjfgncvrunx@forum.dlang.org

is working on a JFlex parser.

Can someone who is just starting to use this toolchain easily fix 
problems or does it require a lot of compiling, waiting, 
restarting, etc?

If I can easily apply changes to the grammar under discussion and 
see the changes near instantaneous(not > minutes) I would be 
willing to help on that end.
