I realized a while back that this community is incapable of
understanding what
is wrong with Dub's documentation.
We do accept pull requests, though.
Heck, just pick *one* thing that grinds your gears, like the
quotation above, and fix it.
But I don't use Dub or Git submodules. I use R's package manager,
which is both well-documented and does not require the user to
write a configuration file to use the package. Of course that is
not an option for very many D users.
I guess the bigger problem is that Dub is allowed to be the
official package manager even though nobody bothered to write
real documentation. In other communities, contributions have to
meet standards for both code and documentation.
