I agree, this idea to write a proper, *fully-featured* IDE in D is

functionality, sure, someone can toy around and try to work on that, but
as for a proper IDE, there is just so much functionality and
infrastructure that platforms like Eclipse, Visual Studio, MonoDevelop,
Netbeans, etc., provide that is dumb and futile to try replicate all of
that in D. There are years of paid, multi-developer teams work behind
that infrastructure, and you want one or two guys to replicate that in
their free time? Right.
We don't even have a mature, fleshed-out D GUI library, let alone IDE
infrastructure...
Half of Eclipse is ported to D :)

As someone that has experience developing Eclipse plugins, I would say
that is more like a 1/4 of Eclipse or even less. :)
The UI framework is very little from the complete runtime infrastructure
that Eclipse offers.
