We can take Eclipse as an other example. It has a built in package
manager for plugins. Would you prefer that it just downloaded Java
source files. Then you have to manually build the plugin and figure out
where to place it to have Eclipse recognize it?
No, I wouldn't prefer that.
I'm not saying it's not useful to have an end-user package manager. It
is. But I think that the development use-cases and functionality are
more important, and therefore dub should focus primarily (if not
exclusively) on those.
