Oh, I agree, as do many others. But someone has to come up with a better way of 
doing it and be motivated enough to figure out what has to be done with regards 
to macros and css and whatever else about generating the html files needs to be 
tweaked. Some folks have done work on it, but no one has presented a better 
solution yet. And the main devs for dmd, druntime, and Phobos are generally 
working on code fixes rather than documentation fixes. I'm sure that it'll be 
improved eventually, but someone has to want to do it, get it done, and get the 
main devs to approve it. That hasn't happened yet.
