Do we know how many contributors were put off by Darcs to not submit a patch and should do migrate or Mercurial or Git?
I submitted a very small patch to Xmonad some time ago. The guide provided to submit a patch was clear, darcs UI very intuitive, the submit-to-mailing-list path streamlined. I cannot digest git; it is much more unfriendly to the "casual contributor" to me, I often end up frustrated using it. It is a very popular choice though (even if I would expect someone contributing to a Haskell project to at least have heard of Darcs). And yes, I must admit it, it feels nice using (and hence generating important feedback) a tool developed in Haskell, by Haskellers, for Haskeller.
