Are we forgetting the fact that using delimited strings allows us to
have syntax highlighting in editors?

E.g.:

void stringParser(string str)()
{
     mixin(str);
}

void main()
{
     stringParser!(q{
         int x = 1;
         int y = 2;

         writefln("%s %s", x, y);
     });
}

This is a huge benefit over having everything highlighted in one solid
color as a string.

That's token strings. This is delimited strings:
q"(foo(xxx))"   // "foo(xxx)"
q"[foo{]"       // "foo{"
