I just created a dub package. Frankly, the whole thign is backward.

There's no requirement to use dub. If you want to build your own 
ecosystem, or don't want to use this one, then don't. But saying "nobody 
should use it, it should be just wild-west without any direction" is not 
helpful.

This means you lose those benefits of being there. Your call.

I can say with certainty that I won't be leaving dub, even though I have 
several issues with it. But literally none of the things you complain 
about are any concern to me, in fact, I consider them to be features I want.

I would like to see dub redone in a way that is approachable. My biggest 
problem is that the code is impenetrable. So even if I want to fix 
problems, I can't. Even in this scenario, I'd keep all the things you 
complain about, so that isn't really relevant to you.
