The problem though is twofold:

1. IDE support, cf. CLion required CMake.
2. Getting things packaged in Debian/Fedora.

As far as I am aware, Dub is not yet packaged by Debian and Fedora and
so cannot be used for creating Debian or Fedora packages. If Dub could
be packaged then it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. For
now though use of SCons and CMake is nigh on required for projects
aiming to get packaged.
