LDC for llvm 2.7 doesn't have debug support because the LDC debug info 
code only works for llvm 2.6. I assume that's what you call unusable?
There are bugs as well, sure. But nothing too serious from what I know 
about.

LDC is developed on a personal by need/interest basis.
Atm. the original developers don't have time or much interest in LDC.
It's a volunteer effort from the beginning and everyone is invited to 
work on ldc.
