Horray! Great news.

Some initial nit-picking:

According to http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/Installation
"Visual Studio Shell 2012" is supported.

But https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald only mentions:
* Supported Visual Studio versions
  - VS.NET 2003 (some limitations apply)
  - VS 2005
  - VS 2008
  - VS 2010

1) I assume that the full non express 2012 is supported also?

2) VS Shell 2010 link @ http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/Installation is broken.

3) Preferably the two links to The Visual Studio Shell 2012 should be visible in the github readme.

Indeed, massive thanks!

Do you have plans for changing the homepage for VisualD? The one on dsource is more related to the old repository.

Thanks for pointing these out. The README didn't receive a lot of attention lately, most of the documentation and news is on the web site. I agree, with it being displayed on the front github page it should be updated.

It is planned to move the homepage to dlang.org. It might take some time to convert the wiki pages to some other format which can be used to generate the pages (ddoc?). Easiest would probably be to add it to wiki.dlang.org, but I'm unsure whether this is appropriate.

The main documentation should be in ddoc and part of dlang.org. The wiki is for user-supplied supplemental information.

I know this will be a fair amount of work, and will take time. I'm sure Rainer could use some help from anyone who wants to step up!

No problem, I thought of one additional idea to enhance first impressions...

Is this stable enough to be made default enabled in future releases?
"Use Alexander Bothe's D parsing engine for semantic analysis"
"writing '.'"

I only found it because I remember reading about it on this very forum, it is my fear that other new users won't find it and hence consider the intellisense-experience lacking.

After enabling this tiny checkbox,... wow, I love it! Thanks again!

 Does VisualD work with VS2013?

I just adapted the installer script and tried it with VS2013 RC. Seems to work fine from a first glance, it will be available with the next release.
