I switched all my Haskell projects over to Git, as a developer on Linux, is that I wasted way too much time fighting with Darcs that I should have spent programming. It's way too slow. I've run in to exponential merges with only two developers commiting to the same repository. It randomly freezes -- exponential merge, general sluggishness, who knows! -- or crashes. And merging, perhaps the most important operation in a DVCS, is a pain. I don't trust Darcs to keep my source code safe anymore.
