Eclipse is probably, along with VS, one of the two most powerful IDEs.

But the JSON approach would also make things like Emacs usable with D 
with a basic level of autocomplete support, as well as the panopoly of 
simpler, more lightweight editors.

JSON support also will not take away anything from efforts to integrate 
DMD into IDE front ends. It's more for IDEs that don't have the 
resources to do that.
