Not getting into any of the lengthy discussions of yours, but 'it sux'
isn't really helping anyone to improve it.

repeating the reasons why it sux doesn't help too. this thread alone
has some of them, including inability to do separate compilation (and
the reason why this can be needed).

Separate per package (the default)? Separate by D module
(--build-mode=singleFile)? Something else?

yes, incremental rebuilds, please. even for simple project with two
modules dub is not able to do incremental rebuilds:

=== source/app.d ===
import std.stdio;
import mymod;

void main () {
   writeln(test);
}

=== source/mymod.d ===
module mymod;

int test () { return 42; }

% dub --build-mode=singleFile
Building _00 ~master configuration "application", build type debug.
Compiling using dmd...
Compiling source/app.d...
Compiling source/mymod.d...
Linking...
Running ./_00
42

so far, so good.

touch source/app.d
% dub --build-mode=singleFile
Building _00 ~master configuration "application", build type debug.
Compiling using dmd...
Compiling source/app.d...
Compiling source/mymod.d...
Linking...
Running ./_00

??? i didn't modified "mymod.d"! why it is rebuilding it?! 'cmon, it's in
no way better than a simple shell script that just executes "dmd -c" for
each file and then links the results.


Yes, incremental building is indeed a missing feature. It's simply a matter of available developer time, as for many of the other concerns. Otherwise this is something that has been acknowledged for inclusion basically since the beginning of the project.
