Nov. 25, 2015: This thread

This really puts things in perspective.

What I got from this thread is that the only things worth worrying about are:

1. code.dlang.org presents dub configuration snippets in a format that doesn't match dub's default configuration format

2. dub could use a way to specify the default configuration format.

IMHO what would also be great is make the default dub.sdl larger, with comments explaining options, and commented-out examples of other common options. This should make trips to dub's package format's and SDL's reference necessary much less often.
