If dub doesn't install packages, why the h*ll should I use it

Good look getting all those small trivial libraries into official
repositories. Actually, some distros even prohibit pure source
packages at all.
You should install it because you are tired of satisfying build
dependencies manually and it is a bit more robust than git
submodules. Pretty much all.
