Hi Baz,

After a quick trial run, I'm quite impressed on how well it runs
on my rather sluggish computer. All of the features seem to be in
place and the documentation is well written.

My only complaint lies in the seemingly low level of integration
between coedit and DUB. DUB is quickly becoming ubiquitous in the
D community. While it seems like I can build and execute my
project using DUB, I have to maintain 2 separate project
configurations -- one for DUB and one for coedit.

Do you think you will ever be so inclined to have coedit support
opening a DUB package file (i.e., dub.json)? I think that would
sway me to becoming a regular user.

But perhaps I misunderstand something here..

Thanks,
