Not sure whether shipping this by default is still a good idea given that accessing dub packages is so easy nowadays.

The requested changes 1. and 2. haven been done in release 0.2.0: https://github.com/funkwerk/depend/releases/tag/v0.2.0

I'm OK with providing this tool via https://code.dlang.org.
I'm just unhappy that "depend" is the 67th hit if you search for "depend".

As Seb mentioned, using `dub run` is a much better and scalable approach nowadays.

I sympathize with the need to improve tooling though, but having used Go for a year, I can tell that if it didn't come with an umbrella command line that runs tools under the hood, I wouldn't have used it as much.

This is another case for improving dub. In the meantime, I'll close this issue as WONTFIX. If you feel strongly about it, please re-open it on https://github.com/dlang/tools/issues
