I'm interested in which areas does you and/or Symmetry find dub 
not delivering expected results? Is it package management in 
general? Build process? What's the actual need to rewrite dub 
again?

I started working on a build tool to replace dub for my personal 
projects some time ago because I grew tired of long build times 
when only small portion of the project was touched. This last 
month I decided to rewrite it and work on it more actively, and 
I've already managed to get some huge libraries like vibe-d and 
serve-d building. I have no plans to rewrite the dub as a whole, 
but only focus on the build command, leaving the package 
management to dub which I have personally no problems with.
