I don't use it right now, but I came in contact with it already 
and like the concept - like you said it does not feel so alien on 
windows.

Once I have the need to do cross language builds in my project I 
would like premake to have dub support, cause thats what I am 
using and what I guess everyone starting with D uses.
So: support for that would be great ;)
