why do you think it sucks ?
dub is a good package manager, but it's not a good build
system. For small projects that just want to list dependencies
and have it build, it's sufficient. Any larger project will
have needs that won't be easily solved by using dub. Which is
why I wrote my own.

Hi Atila,
you are talking about cross language builds ?
Other than that limitation, what do you miss ?
I have a couple of rather sizable projects running with dub
without problems and one could argue vibe.d is a pretty big
project too which works fine.
The D community already suffered enough from not uniting
workforces behind at least SOME standards (hint at tango), a
plethora of options for newcomers to choose from for basics like
building is also daunting IMHO.
