Shouldn't this be true of writing it too? Like I said on irc earlier today, I
actually kinda think we should have some kind of gui for it, or at least a
command suite (like `dub add-dependency foo` maybe, idk) so the file itself
never needs to be touched directly by users for common tasks.
And the cost of inventing a new file format just grew by another order of
magnitude.
I should add "need a special gui editing tool" to my list of reasons not to
invent another file format.
