The two main Haskell gui libs (gtk2hs & wxhaskell) use SF, and (still) use CVS. The same with ghc - I understand that ghc is around much longer than darcs, and gtk2hs & wxhaskell being on SF cannot use darcs, but as Manuel put wrote nicely regarding ghc & darcs (darcs-users list):

<quote> Is Darcs sufficient for fptools? If it is, the one reason to adopt it is because it is written in Haskell, and we like to promote Haskell. </quote>

So, having HaskellForge site with darcs (& other services like Hackage) is a nice way to promote Haskell & build its community.

That's a side benefit. When darcs is appropriate for a project, it is so so much nicer than CVS. -- Aaron Denney -><-
