Darcs has a great UX. Please to use and still powerful. It inspired some small parts of the Git UX like the `--patch` mode for `git commit`. The author of Darcs, David Roundy realized that Git was going to dominate so started a "best of both worlds" project that used the storage format of Git but the UX of darcs. That was called `iolaus` and never really launched as a usable project before was abandoned: https://github.com/droundy/iolaus https://github.com/droundy/iolaus That's still my preference for what a rethink of the Git UX should be. By this point I've learned many of the pain points of Git. By having experienced Darcs, it's frustrating to teach Git to newcomers knowing the experience and ease of use could be so much better.
