Hi,
my opinion about that (I use Darcs now for 1,5 year at work and never
heard before about it):
- Small community: Only a few people use Darcs (in my perception) and so
you find less help/information on the web. Of course there is such
help/information. One of the best IRC-Channels to me is the #darcs with
a lot of helpfull people there. But when you 'google' for git/svn/hg/bzr
etc. you will find way more sites. So it looks like that 'nobody' uses
really Darcs. Sometimes I think we're the only commercial company in the
universe which uses Darcs. I know that this is not true, but it feels
like that. For the most Not-Darcs-Users we may seem like some
VCS-Freaks/Geeks.
- Tools and Integration: That's for me the most important point. There
are no! tools at all. Yes that's exaggerated. But there are now
integration in the wide spread large IDEs (Netbeans, Eclipse, InteliJ
IDEA, PHPStorm, XCode etc.). There are no Integration for issue
trackers. We written our issue tracker self because of that. There is no
integration in buildtools like Phing, Ant or Maven. No integration in
continuous integration like Bamboo, Cruise Control etc. Sole exception
the Jnekins plugin I've started some weeks ago. A big problem doing that
plugin: No Java lib for dealing with Darcs. For Git and SVN there is one.
I don't want to twit someone. But in our company we considered moving
away from Darcs because of that (and also some of the former mentioned
points like performance). One of our new green field projects we've
started with Git. Because it is faster and better integrated in the tool
chain. We can use it with PhpStrom/Netbeans/Eclipse, Redmine, Jenkins
and can share code on GitHub. On the other hand we miss the feature of
cherry picking single patches, which is to me one of the greatest
features of Darcs!
My 50 cents
