Does it still rely on DCD?
If yes, then it still sucks. Shitty to set up, buggy in usage, 
bad and horribly slow autocompletion.

Thanks @Hackerpilot, you created good software that is good at 
what it has been made for.

But unfortunately all those lazy "pro-user" abused it for simply 
bodging it into their favorite IDE wich caused combined with 
their lack of skills a total disaster of D support.

Moreover, as most of those plugins are also written in D, no new 
user, who is searching for a good IDE, will ever be interested in 
contributing to those projects as they would have to write D code 
for creating good IDE support, but without a useful IDE. If 
combating the horror leads to even more horror, noone will ever 
do it - for comprehensible reasons.
