I have watched plethora of projects come and be discharged to the sea of abandonware over the last 15 years of watching D.  For new users getting started with D it can be hard to find some of the tools that are current.

It would be really nice if dub, dfmt, and dfix were co-opted into the standard distribution of D and officially sanctioned as part of the D-Programming-Language github organization.  These are great tools and I would hate to see them flounder if the authors got bored/busy.

I believe that's the plan.

Anyway, their authors, Ludwig and Schott, are very prolific: I have had great experiences using their tools and reporting bugs and feedback.
