Err.., but it is. XML is just syntax, you still have the semantics of 
what that data means to be defined. Just as learning XML doesn't mean 
you know how to properly read/write HTML5! (Maybe there is a better term 
than "file format", but regardless I think my comment was clear.

At the time of this message of yours, you didn't offer any concrete, 
*technical* reasons of why dub shouldn't be used. Saying one doesn't 
*want* to use dub is not a valid reason at all. Saying you can't, 
without saying why, is no valid reason either.

And is that a full-featured integration, or does it have significant 
limitations? You see, before DUB was, DDT did have it's own `.dproject` 
of sorts ('.buildpath' for those who remember), and it's own basic 
builder. But that integration was very basic and had severe limitations.

What I'm wondering is how good the VisualD on is then. Unfortunately I 
can't easily check it out myself because if the point here is to check 
C/C++ I'd probably have to install the commercial version of Visual 
Studio to try it out.
