Florian, what are you moving to? To GIT?

The UI is nice, but darcs is quite slow (even if you don't hit the
exponentional corner case in the merge algorithm).

My main gripe with darcs, and the prime reason why I'm moving away
from it, is its lack of support for software archaeology.  If you
haven't tagged a tree at some point, you'll face lots of trouble when
you try to restore something that resembles the tree you had back
then.  This is a direct consequence of the "heap of patches" approach,
but it's a real nuisance, and the benefits of the increased
flexibility don't make up for it, IMHO.
