You're welcome :)

I can take a look at it this summer. It might be better targeting
KDevelop 4.x since KDE4 will be released later this year. KDevelop 4.x
will probably also be cross-platform.

It's great to see people using K-stuff. I personally like Eclipse and
the job Ary Manzana has done, but sometimes Eclipse is simply not good
enough. IMO also Codeblocks feels unstable for production use ATM. It
would be fabulous to make support for D in KDevelop as good as support
for Java is in Eclipse.

Here's a video that might tell why I can't stand Eclipse at times:
(requires ogg theora codec)

It is not a joke, it's a realtime video capture made with a software
called 'recordmydesktop'.

I should mention that the workstation in the video is 2 GHz Athlon XP
with 1 GB of RAM, RAID-0 disc (read speed ~90 MB/s), and about a month
old clean install of Kubuntu Feisty (< 0.4% fragmentation). It is not
trashing or doing anything else at all. Even playing it with 'mplayer
-speed 100' feels much slower than KDevelop on a 200 MHz Pentium MMX.
Luckily for us, D can do it soooo much better :-P
