Nicely done :)  I especially like the correct coloring of /+ +/ style 
comments.  It'd be nice to be able to change the colors, though, as lots of 
white hurts my eyes, and the colors are so muted that it's almost impossible 
to see the syntax highlighting.

Add some execute macro keys a la ConText, and it'd be perfect!

Sorry. "/+/++/+/" isnt switching off the comment highlighting 
correctly.

Very nice.  I tried opening some of the more... interesting sources I have
laying around, 
and it did just fine.  I rather like the little gray left-side border on
indented scopes. 
  It happens to be a perfect visual complement to my typical coding style.

Just four things keep it from "perfect" for me...
A) ability to open multiple files
B) some kind of 'cheap and cheesy' Projects support (a la EditPlus for instance)
C) customizable syntax coloring, able to set different styles for different
keywords
D) braces/parentheses-matching.


awkward to 
me.  Also, do you think you might add other styling options to the syntax
highlighting, 
aka bold, italic, underline?  I'm too much of a Borland user, I like certain
keywords 
bolded.  ;)

I was debating this because it might not be considered a simple editor  
with this feature. I'm thinking I want it anyway.


 B) some kind of 'cheap and cheesy' Projects support (a la EditPlus for  
 instance)


That is pretty cheesy, but I like the simplicity.


 C) customizable syntax coloring, able to set different styles for  
 different keywords


Do you mean like separate colors for each of: int, align, and private?


 D) braces/parentheses-matching.


yea, I'll look into it. I like it as well.



 feels awkward to me.


Same here.

yea, sure. I just don't particularly like that it causes things to be  
unaligned.

Nah... no introspect, no "class browser", no autocompletion or any of that
other fancy 
jazz... so its still a simple editor.  :)

 different keywords

Essentially, yes.  You could classify the keywords for simplicity, like one
group for 
primitive types, another for attributes, one for statement keywords (like 'if',
'while', 
'case'), etc.  That'd probably be a fair bit more straightforward than allowing
each 
individual keyword to be customized... not to mention a lot faster to edit. 
Could even 
just store the colors in a file that's parsed at loadtime.  Users could just
edit the 
color codes in said file, then reload (or else provide a reload command in the
menu 
somewhere).


 Also, do you think you might add other styling options to the syntax  
 highlighting, aka bold, italic, underline?


 yea, sure. I just don't particularly like that it causes things to be  
 unaligned.


That is true.  Its unessential anyhow if there's good varied coloring.

First I have a some questions of my own:

1. Why is the text box written in C++ and not D?

2. Also do you have plans to release the source code and if so under 		 
   what license?

3. How soon will DCode 1.3 be out?

4. Will you be adding syntax highliting for assembly(inline/external), 

    HTML(for embedded D code), and DMDScript?

Now with that out of the way, I'm currently using the latest available 
version DCode 1.2 and its really good. It may lack some features that 
gvim 6.3 has that I like such as folding; but I understand you do intend 
to had other features such as the ability to call build which would be 
great. DCode works real well, loads faster than gvim 6.3, and at the 
moment is written mostly in D.

It's the existing Scintilla text box control with modifications; I didn't  
want to make my own because that would take too long.


 2. Also do you have plans to release the source code and if so under 		  
    what license?


Not sure.. but I usually go with libpng/zlib license.


 3. How soon will DCode 1.3 be out?


I've been a bit busy lately and haven't spent much time on my D stuff, so  
I don't know.


 4. Will you be adding syntax highliting for assembly(inline/external),

Maybe inline assembly, less likely HTML and DMDScript.

Folding should be easy, just seems like very few even like it.
