I've actually fantasized about darcs for quite a while (e.g., [1]). I'm
convinced it's better than git in most ways. But the alterior motive
here is for me to get enough experience to introduce something at work,
and darcs's conflict resolution bug pretty much negated that for me. Git
also has going for it its pace of development, operational speed, and
the existence of large, high-profile projects managed by it, which are
really what will convince the crusty neophobe engineers I work with.
The upcoming Darcs 2 [2] may very well fix everything. But in the mean
time, the existence of git-hunk-commit --darcs [3] makes daily git usage
approach tolerability, although I do hold my nose.
