I've used ANTLR in anger a few times and for some reason it's always left a bad taste in my mouth. I always seem to spend more time debugging how ANTLR works rather than doing the work I set out to do.
Granted most of my use cases was building a simple DSL so it might be different when talking about whole source conversion.
