Because I tried using it and discovered that it wouldn't let me do what
ought to be easy to do.  If it works fine for you, then good for you. It
doesn't do what I need it to do, so I'd rather not use it, but it's
forced upon me because without dub it's impractical to use code from
code.dlang.org.  That's why I feel a lot of frustration with it -- it's
something I can't avoid if I want to use code.dlang.org, but it also
works very poorly for what I do.  I often feel like I'm up the
proverbial creek without a paddle when I'm using dub.  It seems to work
fine up your creek, but I need to be on *this* creek and dub refuses to
give me a paddle to work with.

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In
English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some
languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a
negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can
form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah,
yeah."
