I contest that web based code reviewing is going to be infrequent, since  
all major phobos changes now must be reviewed by 2 peers before inclusion.

Please look at a recent pull request review I participated in, without  
ever opening an editor/ide.  GitHub provides very good collaborative  
review.  If I have to install an IDE that I only use for reviewing, um...  
no.

Again, don't have one.
