I can't let you say that.
I'm also using vcs with the command line interface, but it's not the case for 
everybody. Without GUI, it's nearly impossible to make non-developers use vcs 
for example.

If we want non-developers be able to use darcs, we need a nice interface, like 
tortoise for example.
