Single language, json based configuration engine is simpler for
IDE development and configuration tools. For example, Sublime
Text.This is very important to make language used by big amount
of users.

This is an important point. JSON can be used by tools other than
DUB (IDEs etc.)
Let me suggest the following:
1. JSON as default format in DUB when you type `dub init`; SDL as
second option
2. a JSON <=> SDL converter (will be needed for community
projects)
3. add the ability to add comments to JSON files in DUB, so DUB
can handle comments in JSON and JSON's biggest disadvantage
disappears (as does the bikeshed)
