It can be yes, especially if development experience can be good.

Dub is a tad simple as a build manager, its good that we have it, but it 
isn't covering enough cases sufficiently that it is not a target for 
replacement.

I've talked to Dejan over on IRC, and we'll try to do a group chat with 
Adam Wilson soon, in regards to a replacement. Adam hasn't had the time 
but started one ages ago at a DConf, and I only really see bits of the 
whole.
