No offense to the darcs creators, but

Subversion or is migrating to it;


If that is true, then they have missed the point. DVC is a real win for most workflows.

The applicable alternatives to darcs are : bzr, git, mercurial, tla. They have different pros and cons which are discussed at length on various blogs.

svn just doesn't make the list; it's not a comparable project, because it's centralised. SVK is more plausible but since it is essentially a hack to implement decentralisation on top of centralisation, it has different design constraints than things designed from the bottom-up as decentralised.
