so i'll use "make" for everything else too. "make" can be wordy, but at least i'll have only one build tool to care about, not two. there is nothing wrong in making easy things easy ;-), but dub has no way to make hard things possible. i can't teach it new tricks, and i definitely don't want "build systems explosion" in my projects. and dub can't be easily used like "pkg-config", so even it's package management part is not good for non-dub people.
