Curious because based on my own experience, a reasonable D 
programming style gives reasonable results with DCD. Maybe you 
missed how to configure things ? For example in CoEdit, everydays 
deps should be registered there: 
http://bbasile.github.io/Coedit/widgets_library_manager#description. In addition the dependencies of a DUB  project are automatically handled at level 1 and if already fetched.

I haven't used Delphi (which you mention in your first message) 
for a while (2012 last time) but even in this big commercial IDE 
there was a dialog where paths for libs had to be registered. And 
at this time this dialog was way less friendly than the one i 
made for CoEdit!
