This would be a lot more sensible if dub were not the official

can't monitor decisions regarding it. Yet that doesn't make it
less official. So I need to trust other people to mind it in a
way that is aligned in broad strokes with my view. If I say
"well but that's very unlike my view" and I get back "some of
us prefer it a different way and that's the way it is" then
that trust is affected. -- Andrei
Then I think you should trust Sönke with the decision.
It's trivial to choose JSON when creating a new dub project and
there's a link to the JSON version of dub's documentation in bold
at the top of the SDLang version. SDLang is not a creation of the
D community; is a *much better format* for dub package
description files; and is plenty intuitive so that it's readily
readable to people who don't know the language.
When I first saw this thread I was hoping it would be ignored for
the massive bikeshed timesink that it is (with added spice of
vitriol by the OP), so I'm really surprised core contributors
would see fit to reply. `dub init` is something you almost never
have to type and it takes all of three seconds to redo if you
didn't get the result you wanted.
So much fuss over absolutely nothing.
