This topic has been discussed in the past. Some more points that

- easier to run the entire test suite
- much easier "git bisect"

- more difficult to assign ownership/responsibility
- forking just one component becomes more difficult
- more mixing of free and non-free source code in the same 
repository (although I heard splitting the DMD repo into two 
(frontend and backend) repositories was being discussed)
