The above is intended as a pun, "I don't fit in the ANTLR box". It's like 
MS Word, as long as you do it the way things are intended to be done, clear 
sailing, as soon as you try something else rocks and shoals. 

My other main issue I have had with ANTLR is that the documentation is ABSOLUTELY 
HORRIBLE! It took me three weeks working with it to even figure out that 
it was intended to be used differently than I expected. I was hard pressed 
to find critical information. Stuff that is, IMHO, only a quarter step less 
important than the fact ANTLR is a parser generator, stuff I'd expect to 
be looking straight at after hitting Google's "I'm feeling lucky" button 
for ANTLR, no scrolling needed.
