I think it makes it hard when most of the pages are written in DDOC.

I have no idea what professional web designers use, but I did many web
pages using html in a regular text editor.
It was awful.
That *is* awful. I use Ruby on Rails with the following languages (and
what they compile to):
HAML -> HTML
SASS -> CSS
CoffeeScript -> JavaScript
And Ruby of course.
Using Ddoc literally doubled my productivity at creating web pages.
Furthermore, I can easily change them. This came in really handy when
David redid the look & feel.
For example, I am able to create the C++ manuals for the Kindle and the
digitalmars.com web pages from the exact same source text, simply by
using a different set of .ddoc macros.
(Although you can supposedly convert html directly to Kindle books, in
reality you'll discover you need to put out different html than you
would for web display.)
I would say DDoc is good for writing documentation but not for web pages.
