I recently read a Mercurial tutorial (hginit.com). It takes some time explaining why you need to run "hg merge" so as to rewire the history right (http://hginit.com/02.html). Of course this has to be in the tutorial because it's how Mercurial works, and doing "hg merge" happens all the time in a distributed environment. Git and Bazaar work similarly. On the other hand, darcs does not have such a command because it is not needed. So the plus of darcs for me is that you need to learn less and type less in order to achieve the same result than with the aforementioned systems.
