Maven has plugins but is seriously unwieldy, uses XML for project
descriptions, and the dependency resolution algorithm is faulty. Gradle
fixes most of the problems of Maven and can also do C++ building. It
could also do D building, but given it's focus on JCenter and Maven
Central for dependency management is it the right tool. It could be as
it would just require plugins to put Dub in play.

Gradle's dependency management is tried tested and works well even at
massive scale.
