Neeeoooooohhh!!!
It makes me crazy when I see exchanges like this. We use ANTLR not only 
because it is easier to write and more maintainable in many instances, 
but because it is FAST! I don't see how having it "just work" is at odds 
with making it quick. I've also already stated my opinion that I would 
much rather have speed over prettiness/readability of generated code. I 
just really don't understand the attitude some people seem to have 
regarding speed trade offs. SPEED IS IMPORTANT TO MANY USERS.
