I tried a while ago to setup DCD to be used in vim, with no success 
(even having Brian's ear at dconf to look at the issues, but he's not a 
vim guy).

IMO, the most useful improvement would be to make an easy-install 
package for DCD so it works with whatever editor the install is for. 
What that uses in the background, I couldn't care less :) So if ycmd is 
it, go for it. Just make it so I can install it easy!
