## About Darcs
Darcs is a free and open source, cross-platform version control system, like git, mercurial or subversion but with a very different approach. Thanks to its focus on changes rather than snapshots, Darcs can offer a freer way of working, and a simpler user interface.

**What do you like best about Darcs?**

Does an incredible job of keeping all of your ongoing work together and still separable.  No more disjointed branches and continual rebasing.

**What do you dislike about Darcs?**

Sometimes can be finicky about letting you rollback or apply patches selectively (demands dependent patches).  Managing this can require careful attention to breaking up commits.

**Recommendations to others considering Darcs:**

You will fall out of love with git.

**What problems is Darcs solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing my pending work independently from primary organizational source control.
