I too use dvm all the time and I wonder, if we could integrate it with dub one day and extend it to cater for LDC and GDC as well. In fact, without dvm life would be a lot harder and I think it's high time it became part of an official D toolchain alongside dub.
The issue is that they (the core developers) don't want Tango in any of the core tools and I don't feel like replacing Tango with Phobos for something that is working perfectly fine as it is. It's even working better, because it doesn't depend on libcurl which has caused a lot of problems. It's not even available by default on Windows.
On the other hand. I would like to rewrite DVM from scratch and add support for LDC and GDC as well. That could be an opportunity to remove that dependency on Tango, as long as no new dependencies are added, like libcurl.
