Could you explain what is overcomplicated and inconvenient? I'd
love some feedback and to be able to fix it.
This is rather broad topic and most of the points are related to
different view on design goal for build tool. Let me try

Hmm, the build module could be compiled once. It sources are

Even "once" will be too much for majority of D users (those who
are not also Gentoo users at least :D). Remember - we are not

From experience, it turns out that having a restricted language

Even 90% is not enough because it leads to forking

Makefiles are for chosen people. That's why I suggested moving to
a d build system. However I'm aware it's not political

NB: this is orthogonal to development of dub. Most important

other build systems instead).

You were a bit vague before. I interpreted you as saying "just
